EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 13th century, the infant Prince Edward, eldest son of King Edward I and future King Edward II, is presented to the Welsh chieftains at Caernarfon Castle. The occasion marked the beginning of a significant tradition in British monarchy, as the eldest son of every monarch was thereafter adopted as the Prince of Wales. The year was 1284, and the region was still in a state of uneasy pacification following years of conflict between the English crown and the Welsh princes. The young prince, cradled in the arms of his father, King Edward I, is dressed in royal robes and adorned with a crown. He is offered to the assembled Welsh chieftains, who bow in submission and pledge their allegiance. The image captures the symbolic moment when the English monarchy sought to assert its authority over the Welsh people through the person of the Prince of Wales. The tradition of the Prince of Wales as the representative of the monarch in Wales continued uninterrupted until the present day, with the current Prince of Wales, Charles, being the latest in a long line of princes who have held this title. The image is a testament to the rich history and complex dynamics of medieval Wales and England, as well as the enduring significance of the role of the Prince of Wales in British monarchy. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the origins of an important tradition that continues to resonate in contemporary British politics.
