Scene from the life of Bertrand du Guesclin, (19th century)
Scene from the life of Bertrand du Guesclin, (19th century). Death of Bayard. Last meeting of Bayard and the commander of the armies of Bourbon. French knight Pierre Terrail of Bayard (c1476-1524) known in legend as the chevalier sans peur et sans reproche (fearless and blameless knight), had such a reputation for bravery that incredible stories were told of him. Bertrand du Guesclin (c1320-1380) entered the service of Charles of Blois, duke of Brittany, fighting against the invading English. Du Guesclin won the throne of Castile and Leon for Henry, who became King Henry II. In 1370 Du Guesclin was made constable of France by Charles V, and until his death worked to drive the English out of France. Colour lithograph produced by the Monastery of Aiguebelle
