EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the 15th century depicts the iconic Tower of London, serving as a prison for the Duke of Orleans, taken captive at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The Tower of London, a historic fortress located in central London on the north bank of the River Thames, has stood as a symbol of British history and monarchy for over six centuries. In this print, the Tower's imposing stone walls and fortified towers loom large against the backdrop of the Thames, with the ducal insignia of France adorning the banners hanging from the battlements, a stark reminder of the French connection to this pivotal moment in English history. The Duke of Orleans, a leading French nobleman and the brother of King Charles VI of France, was captured during the Battle of Agincourt, one of the most significant engagements of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The Battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, saw the English army, led by King Henry V, defeat the much larger French and allied forces. The Duke of Orleans was taken prisoner and later held in the Tower of London for over 20 years, until his release in 1436. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war, political intrigue, and the shifting balance of power in Europe during the 15th century.
