EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of medieval history, Norman Conquest 5 of 16, depicts a pivotal moment in the power struggle between the Normans and the Bretons, specifically between Harold Godwinson of England and Duke Conan II of Brittany. The scene is set at Mont St Michel, a strategic stronghold in Brittany, where Harold and William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, are shown helping each other in their campaign against Conan. The year is 1064, and Harold, who had previously invaded England with William and helped him claim the English throne, had turned against him and allied with Conan. However, Harold's allegiance proved to be short-lived as he was soon caught in quicksands near Mont St Michel, leaving him vulnerable to attack. Undeterred, William and his Norman forces pressed on, forcing Conan to flee from Dol, a city in northern Brittany. With renewed determination, William and Harold pursued Conan, laying siege to the fortified cities of Rennes and Dinan. The image captures the intensity of the battle, with Norman knights charging forward, their shields raised high, and the smoke of burning buildings rising in the background. Despite the challenges they faced, including the treacherous terrain and the tenacity of their enemy, William and Harold's forces were ultimately successful in their campaign against Conan. This victory marked a significant turning point in the Norman Conquest of England, as it solidified William's position as a dominant force in the region and paved the way for his eventual conquest of England in 1066. This historical print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a captivating glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval history, with its intricate political alliances, epic battles, and enduring legacies.
