"Prince Daquitaine: A Glimpse into the Life of Edward, The Black Prince" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of Prince Daquitaine, better known as Edward, The Black Prince. This enigmatic figure from history left an indelible mark on medieval Europe through his military prowess and intriguing encounters. One such momentous event was captured by artist James William Edmund Doyle in 1864 - "Edward refuses succour to his son at Crecy, 1346. " It depicts a poignant scene where familial ties are tested amidst the chaos of battle. The Imperial State Crown, crafted by Rundell, Bridge and Rundell in 1953, symbolizes the grandeur associated with royalty. Its intricate design reflects the power that Edward held as heir to the English throne. Journeying to Canterbury Cathedral circa 1870 reveals another facet of this legendary prince's legacy - "Tomb of the Black Prince. " Here lies a testament to his lasting impact on England's history and culture. Intriguingly portrayed in "King John at Poitiers" (1890), we witness yet another pivotal moment when Edward emerged triumphant against formidable odds. The unknown creator captures both tension and triumph within this historical masterpiece. "The Gallery of Costume: In the Days of Second and Third Edwards" (c1934) transports us visually into an era marked by opulence and elegance. Through these garments worn during Edward's reigns, we glimpse into a world defined by lavishness and refinement. Delving deeper into political intrigue is depicted in "The Black Prince extorts an amnesty from Pedro the Cruel" (1864). This artwork showcases Edward's diplomatic skills as he negotiates with Spain's infamous ruler during their tumultuous times. A striking image emerges from "Prince Edward serves John of Artois at table after having defeated him at Poitiers, 1356" (1864).
