EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the double coronation of 9-year old Henry VI, who was already crowned as king of England, but is now being crowned as king of France at Notre Dame in Paris. The image depicts a young boy wearing a regal crown, symbolizing the immense power and responsibility bestowed upon him at such a tender age.
Despite this monumental event, it is puzzling to note that Henry VI is not listed as the king of France in French histories. This discrepancy adds an intriguing layer to the narrative surrounding his reign and raises questions about how historical events are recorded and remembered over time.
The scene exudes grandeur and solemnity, with the majestic Notre Dame cathedral serving as a stunning backdrop for this momentous occasion. The intricate details captured in this print transport viewers back to the year 1430, allowing them to witness firsthand the elaborate rituals and traditions associated with royal coronations during that era.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into an often overlooked chapter of history, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of political power dynamics between England and France during Henry VI's reign. It serves as a poignant reminder of how historical narratives can be shaped by various perspectives and interpretations.
