1087 1100 Brooch Moustache Players Sceptre Trimming Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts King William II, also known as William Rufus or "Will the Conqueror's Son," in a formal portrait taken around the year 1100. At age 50, William II is shown wearing the regal insignia of the British monarchy with unwavering pride. The king's moustachioed face is framed by a thick, luxurious fur mantle, adding an air of grandeur and majesty to the scene. William II is prominently displayed with his sceptre in hand, symbolizing his royal power and authority. The ornate crown adorning his head, known as the "Crown of William the Conqueror," further emphasizes his regal status. The brooch fastening the crown to his head is a testament to the intricacy and craftsmanship of the time. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of King William II during the Trimming the Beard ceremony, a tradition where the monarch's beard was trimmed to signify the beginning of his reign. This event took place in 1087, making this image a valuable piece of historical documentation. William II was the eldest son of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. His reign was marked by conflict and political instability, but his legacy as a powerful and influential monarch remains a crucial part of British history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy.
