Adapted from an engraving in La Monarchie Francoise by Montfaucon, this lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history. In this historic trial, we witness the intense confrontation between Charles de Bourbon and his accusers. The Duke of Bourbon, once highly esteemed as Constable of France by King Francis I, now finds himself standing before the Peers of France as both plaintiff and defendant. This image encapsulates the complexity and intrigue that surrounded him during this tumultuous period. Surrounded by courtiers dressed in elaborate Renaissance attire, Charles de Bourbon's fate hangs precariously in balance.

Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into not only a legal battle but also into an era defined by power struggles within aristocracy and political alliances that shaped Europe's destiny.
