EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical moment captured in the pages of Froissart's Chronicle. Titled "Fr 2643 f. 165v Battle of Crecy from the Hundred Years War" this detail from an illuminated manuscript transports us back to the 24th of August, 1346. The image depicts the fierce Battle of Crecy during the Hundred Years War between England and France. The English and French armies face each other on a vast battlefield, their banners fluttering in anticipation. King Edward III of England stands at the forefront, leading his troops to a crushing victory over Philip VI, king of France. What makes this battle particularly significant is not only its outcome but also its representation of military tactics. The superiority of English longbowmen over French crossbowmen is evident as arrows rain down upon their enemies with deadly accuracy. Amidst this chaotic scene, one can't help but notice Prince Edward, later known as the Black Prince, who earned his spurs and acquired his emblem - three white feathers - during this historic clash. With meticulous detail and vibrant colors illuminating every aspect, this exquisite vellum artwork offers us a glimpse into medieval warfare and serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
