"Charles the Bold: A Fearless Duke and His Ill-Fated Reign" Step back in time to the 15th century as we delve into the captivating life of Charles the Bold, also known as Charles le Temeraire. This enigmatic figure, adorned in a Yeomen of the Guard costume from that era, left an indelible mark on history. One cannot discuss Charles without mentioning his tragic demise at the Battle of Nancy in 1477. The coloured engraving depicting his death vividly captures the intensity and finality of this fateful event, and is here that Charles le Temeraire was found among the fallen, forever etching his name into legend. However, battles were not solely defining moments for this Duke of Burgundy; tales of torture also surround him. The haunting engraving showcasing "Le duc de Nemours torture" serves as a chilling reminder of both power and cruelty intertwined during those tumultuous times. Yet amidst these dark episodes emerges Jeanne Hachette defending Beauvais in 1472. This oil on canvas masterpiece immortalizes her bravery during siege - a testament to resistance against overwhelming odds. Such acts exemplify why Charles' reign continues to captivate historians and art enthusiasts alike. The Battle of Nancy resurfaces once more through various artistic mediums such as chromolitho prints and vellum manuscripts like Ms 18 fol. 150r from Memoires de Philippe de Commines. These depictions offer glimpses into the chaos and valor witnessed on that fateful day when fate dealt its final blow to Charles' ambitions. Beyond battles lies intrigue within courtly politics; handcoloured lithographs reveal insights into Louis XI's reign alongside Charles'. Their meeting depicted in "Entrevue de Louis XI et de Charles le Temeraire" showcases their complex relationship - one filled with rivalry, diplomacy, and shifting alliances. While defeat haunted him at Murten in 1476, Charles the Bold's legacy endures.
