EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the pivotal moment in the Battle of Durham, which took place on October 17, 1346, between Queen Philippa of Hainault and David II of Scotland, also known as Bruce. The battle marked a significant turning point in the Anglo-Scottish Wars, with Philippa leading the English forces to a decisive victory over the Scottish army. Queen Philippa, dressed in her regal attire and holding a scepter in one hand and a standard in the other, stands confidently on horseback, surveying the battlefield. Her determined expression and regal bearing convey her leadership and courage. Behind her, English soldiers charge forward, their shields raised high and their swords drawn. In contrast, King David Bruce, portrayed on foot, looks disheveled and disorganized, with his army in disarray behind him. The Scottish forces appear to be in retreat, with some turning to flee in panic. The print captures the decisive moment in the battle, with Philippa's forces gaining the upper hand. The Battle of Durham took place during the Hundred Years War between England and France, and the Anglo-Scottish Wars were a significant part of this larger conflict. The defeat of Bruce's army marked the end of his reign as King of Scotland, and he was forced to seek refuge in France. The victory solidified Philippa's reputation as a strong and capable leader, and she continued to play an important role in English politics until her death in 1369. This historical print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of a pivotal moment in the history of Britain and Scotland. The intricate details of the artwork, from the armor and weapons to the expressions on the faces of the soldiers, bring the scene to life and transport us back to the 14th century.
