EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Charles de Montaigu, Seigneur de Marcoussy: A Noble Knight of the Battle of Agincourt, 1415" This evocative handcoloured lithograph depicts Charles de Montaigu, Seigneur de Marcoussy, a distinguished French knight who tragically lost his life at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The image is based on a stained-glass window in the chapel of Chateau de Marcoussy and is part of the extensive collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Roger de Gaignières, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob under the direction of Paul Lacroix in Paris, 1852. Charles de Montaigu is shown wearing a bourrelet or beret, a traditional headpiece of the French nobility, and a tunic adorned with intricate angel sleeves. The tunic is paired with hose, a type of fitted, close-fitting garment that was popular during the late Middle Ages. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph, particularly the rich textures and vibrant colours, effectively captures the elegance and grandeur of the medieval era. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical accuracy but also in the poignant reminder of the Battle of Agincourt, a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Charles de Montaigu was the brother of Jean de Montaigu, who also fought in the battle and survived. The brotherly bond and the shared fate of these two knights add an emotional depth to the image, making it a captivating and evocative representation of medieval chivalry and warfare.
