EDITORS COMMENTS
The Black Prince's March through Roncesvalles (Roncevaux): A Moment in the Spanish Campaign of the 14th Century This evocative image captures the unyielding spirit of The Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), as he leads his formidable army through the treacherous high mountain pass of Roncesvalles (Roncevaux) in Northern Spain, near the border with France. Dating back to 1367, this moment in history marked an essential episode in the Spanish Campaign, an endeavor that aimed to reclaim territories seized by the French during the Hundred Years War. The Black Prince and his troops, a blend of British and Gascon forces, braved the harsh winter conditions as they marched through the Pyrenees. The image portrays the soldiers trudging through the snow, their horses' breaths visible in the frosty air. The mountains loom ominously in the background, their peaks shrouded in clouds and snow, adding to the sense of isolation and challenge. The Black Prince's campaign in the 1360s was a pivotal moment in the medieval history of Europe. The harsh weather conditions, with both snow and rain, tested the resolve and endurance of the soldiers. Yet, their determination was unwavering, as they pressed on, driven by their loyalty to their prince and their desire to reclaim their lands. This powerful image, captured by the skilled lens of Terry Parker, transports us back to a time when the fate of nations hung in the balance, and the courage and resilience of a prince and his army were the difference between victory and defeat. The Black Prince's march through Roncesvalles stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the enduring allure of history.
