EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Olivier de Clisson: The French Constable in Armor" This engraving depicts Olivier de Clisson (1336-1407), a renowned French military leader and statesman, known for his significant contributions to French history during the late Middle Ages. Born into a noble Breton family, Clisson rose to prominence under King Charles VI of France and served as the Constable of France from 1392 until his death in 1407. Clisson's impressive military career began in the Hundred Years' War against England, where he gained a reputation as a skilled and daring knight. He later became a trusted advisor to King Charles VI, and when the king fell into mental instability, Clisson effectively ruled France as regent. This vertical, upright black and white portrait engraving captures the essence of Clisson's chivalric spirit. He is depicted wearing full armor, embodying the ideals of knighthood and honor that were central to the medieval European world. The breadplate ornamented with the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy, further emphasizes his loyalty and commitment to the French crown. Olivier de Clisson's legacy extends beyond France, as his influence reached Spain and other European territories. His military prowess, political acumen, and unwavering dedication to the French monarchy have left an indelible mark on European history. This engraving serves as a testament to the chivalric spirit and the enduring impact of the noblemen of the Middle Ages.
