1390 Strong Surrender Taking Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historical moment of the re-taking of the formidable castle of Ventadour in the year 1390. The castle, situated in the Limousin region of France, had been under siege for an extended period of time during the Hundred Years War between England and France. In this image, we see the triumphant French forces, led by the Duke of Berry, entering the castle after its surrender to the French monarch, King Charles VI. The strong walls and towers of Ventadour, which had once provided a formidable defense against invading forces, now stand as a testament to the power and determination of the French army. The defeated English soldiers, dressed in chainmail and carrying shields and weapons, can be seen in the foreground, surrendering to their conquerors. The French soldiers, clad in armor and bearing the fleur-de-lis banner, proudly march through the castle gates, their faces etched with determination and victory. The event marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War, with the French regaining control of an important strategic stronghold. The castle of Ventadour would remain under French rule for centuries to come, and its legacy as a symbol of French military might would endure through the annals of history. This print, with its intricate details and rich historical significance, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and triumph, of courage and determination.
