EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the annals of English history depicts the pivotal moment when Norman leader William the Conqueror receives intelligence that his rival, Harold Godwinson, has been crowned King of England. The year is 1066, and the stage is set for the fateful invasion that would change the course of British history forever. In the foreground, William, resplendent in his regal attire, listens intently to his spies as they relay the news from across the English Channel. The gravity of the situation is etched on his face, as he contemplates the next move in his campaign to claim the English throne. Behind him, the bustling activity of the Normans' invasion fleet comes into view. Shipbuilders and sailors work tirelessly to construct and launch the vessels that will carry William's army across the sea. The urgency of the situation is palpable, as the fleet must be ready to set sail at a moment's notice. The year 1066 was a tumultuous one for England, with Harold's election to the throne following the unexpected death of King Edward the Confessor. However, Harold's claim to the throne was disputed by William, who believed he had been promised the English crown by Edward himself. This print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the tense and momentous events of 1066, as William orders the invasion fleet to be built and launched in response to the news of Harold's coronation. The image captures the drama and intrigue of this pivotal moment in history, as two great leaders prepare to clash in a battle that would shape the future of England.
