EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting William I receiving a fatal hurt at Mantes, France in 1087. The image showcases the intense and chaotic scene of battle, with smoke billowing and flames engulfing the surroundings. William I, also known as William the Conqueror, was the first Norman King of England and Duke of Normandy. His legacy is forever etched in history due to his conquest of England in 1066. In this dramatic snapshot from A Chronicle of England BC 55 to AD 1485 published in London in 1863, we witness the tragic accident that would ultimately lead to William's demise. Surrounded by knights and soldiers on horseback, he valiantly fights against overwhelming odds. However, fate intervenes as he sustains a fatal injury during this fierce clash. The image not only offers us a glimpse into medieval warfare but also serves as a reminder of the fragility of even great rulers. It transports us back to an era where battles were fought with swords instead of guns and victory or defeat hinged upon individual bravery. With its vivid colors brought to life through lithography by James William Edmund Doyle, this historic photograph print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into the rich tapestry of British history while honoring one man's final moments on horseback amidst chaos and conflict.
