EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Capture of Bruce's wife and daughter at Tain, 1306" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. This illustration, derived from Charles Ricketts' engraving for Cassells Illustrated History of England, portrays the heart-wrenching moment when Elizabeth de Burgh and her daughter were apprehended by English soldiers. Elizabeth de Burgh, the devoted wife of Robert I of Scotland (also known as Robert the Bruce), finds herself torn away from the safety of sanctuary at St. Duthac in Tain. The image captures her despair and anguish as she is forcefully taken into custody alongside her innocent daughter. In this poignant scene, we witness the Scottish royal family facing unimaginable adversity during their struggle against English domination. The Earl of Ross leads an English army that ruthlessly abducts and arrests Queen Elizabeth and her child, leaving them both weeping in distress. This snapshot from the 14th century encapsulates not only a pivotal historical event but also highlights the strength and resilience exhibited by those who fought for their nation's freedom. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Elizabeth de Burgh to protect their homeland amidst political turmoil. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this powerful image evokes emotions ranging from sympathy to admiration for those who endured such trying times. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its ability to transport viewers back through time to witness a crucial chapter in Scottish history.
