EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Norsemen invade France, with Paris under siege by Viking forces. In the year 885, Count Eudes and Bishop Goslin valiantly defend the city against the relentless attacks of the Normans, showcasing their unwavering courage and determination in the face of adversity.
Despite their best efforts, Paris is besieged unsuccessfully by the Norsemen, prompting a strategic decision to pay off the Vikings to redirect their attention towards Bourgogne. This historical event sheds light on the complex dynamics of power and diplomacy during this tumultuous period.
The dark and ominous atmosphere depicted in this image perfectly encapsulates the intensity of battle and military conflict that defined this era. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of these events unfolding before our eyes.
As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of Norsemen in France, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and resilience displayed by those who fought to protect their homeland. Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured a momentous chapter in history with this remarkable print.
