The Last Stand of de Montford at Evesham AD1265 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the dramatic events of the Battle of Evesham in 1265, a pivotal moment in British history. Captured by Richard Caton Woodville II, this lithograph from the 1920s vividly depicts the final stand of Simon de Montford, an influential figure during the Second Barons' War. In this intense scene, we witness de Montford and his loyal followers valiantly fighting against overwhelming odds. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect to life – from the swirling clouds of dust and smoke to the determination etched on each warrior's face. The battle itself was a turning point in English politics, as it marked King Henry III's victory over de Montford's rebel forces. De Montford himself met a tragic fate on that fateful day, making this image all the more poignant. Originally published as part of Hutchinsons Story of the British Nation, this engraving serves as both a historical record and a testament to Woodville's artistic prowess. Preserved within private collections for decades, it now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform for all enthusiasts of history and art alike. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on those who fought bravely for their beliefs centuries ago – reminding us that even in our modern world, echoes of their struggles still
