EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Seventh Crusade (1248-1254). At the top of the image stands Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the King of France. The scene depicts his defeat by the Saracens at Mansourah in 1250, forcing him and his two brothers to retreat behind the towers of Damascus. In a cruel twist of fate, they are taken prisoner by their adversaries. The lower part of the image showcases an intriguing detail - buckwheat being used to make prisoners cross. This miniature from "The Book of Facts Monsignor Saint Louis" dating back to the 15th century, offers us a glimpse into this historical event. However, hope is not lost for Louis IX. He manages to secure his freedom and that of Damascus through negotiation and payment amounting to an astounding 400,000 pounds. This victory marks a turning point in his reign and solidifies his place in history as one who fought valiantly for both faith and kingdom. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph was captured by Photo Josse. Its timeless nature allows us to reflect on past struggles while appreciating how far we have come since then. It serves as a reminder that even amidst defeat and captivity, resilience can lead to triumphs that shape nations and leave lasting legacies behind.
