EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Enguerrand de Marigny, a prominent figure in French history during the Middle Ages. The portrait, created by Edmond Boulenaz, showcases Marigny's dignified presence as he gazes into the distance with an air of authority. Enguerrand de Marigny served as the Grand Chamberlain and chief minister to Philip IV, known as "the Fair". However, his political career took a dark turn when he was accused of accepting bribes by Charles of Valois, leader of the feudalist party. This led to his arrest by Louis X and subsequent accusations of sorcery. The image portrays Marigny wearing a distinctive bonnet that symbolizes his status as a statesman. His face reflects both wisdom and resilience amidst turbulent times. Little did he know that this portrait would forever immortalize him before facing an unfortunate fate. Marigny was ultimately sentenced to death and hanged on the public Gibbet of Montfaucon. Despite these tragic circumstances, it is important to note that he also left behind a lasting legacy through his contributions to society. He founded the collegiate church Notre Dame of Ecouis, which stands as a testament to his patronage. This engraving from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time—allowing us to reflect upon one man's rise and fall within the intricate web of medieval politics in France.
