EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Assembly at Windsor, 1126" an illustration from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1923. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II (1856-1927), this lithograph depicts a significant moment in history. After the tragic loss of Prince William in the White Ship, King Henry I (c. 1068-1135) was determined to secure his daughter Matilda (1102-67) as his successor to the throne. In this scene, set during Christmas 1126, Matilda is declared heiress to the kingdom amidst a gathering of nobles and rulers at Windsor Castle. The composition showcases a rich tapestry of courtly figures adorned with flags and swords, symbolizing their loyalty and support for Matilda's claim. Notable personalities present include David King of Scots and various bishops who administer oaths to solidify their allegiance. The image also features page boys, guards, tenants, and other members of English royalty who witness this historic declaration. Woodville's attention to detail brings medieval England vividly to life through intricate engravings that highlight every aspect of this momentous event. This artwork serves as a testament to the power struggles within royal families during that era while showcasing Matilda's determination to ascend the throne. As part of Fine Art Finder's collection from Bridgeman Images, this print offers viewers a glimpse into British history while celebrating artistic excellence in capturing pivotal moments from our past.
