EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the aftermath of the Battle of Crecy in 1346, a pivotal moment in medieval warfare that marked the English victory over the French. The scene depicts English knights in full armor, their horses rearing and snorting, as they pursue a group of captured French nobles, who are shown with their hands bound and heads bowed in submission. The hundred-acre field of Crecy, dotted with the tents and banners of both armies, lies in the background, a testament to the brutal clash of arms that had taken place just hours before. The Battle of Crecy, fought on August 26, 1346, saw the English army, led by King Edward III, successfully defend against the larger French force under King Philip VI. The English longbowmen played a crucial role in the victory, decimating the French cavalry charges with their deadly arrows. The defeat was a significant blow to French pride and led to the beginning of the Hundred Years War. The captured nobles, depicted in the print, were taken prisoner and later obliged to pay ransom for their release. The English monarch profited handsomely from the ransoms, as well as the spoils of war, making the Battle of Crecy a financially successful campaign for Edward III. The event marked a turning point in the balance of power in Europe and underscored the importance of military strategy and technological innovation in warfare.
