EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 13th century image captures Edward of Caernarvon, later to become King Edward II of England, in a moment of youthful exuberance and royal hunting prowess. The young prince, dressed in the regal robes of the time, is depicted with a fallen stag in the snow, its majestic antlers towering above the prince's head. The scene exudes an air of medieval majesty, with the snow-covered landscape adding to the sense of stillness and tranquility. Edward of Caernarvon was born in 1284, the eldest son of Edward I of England and his wife Eleanor of Castile. He was raised in the English court, alongside his younger brother, the future Edward III, and his half-brother, Thomas of Lancaster. The brothers were educated in the arts, sciences, and military skills, preparing them for their future roles as rulers of the realm. Hunting was a popular pastime among the medieval nobility, and the image of Edward with the stag reflects the importance of this activity in the lives of the royalty of the time. The stag was a symbol of strength, power, and fertility, making it an appropriate quarry for a prince on the cusp of adulthood and kingship. The identity of the artist of this image is unknown, but it is a testament to the skill and artistry of the medieval illuminators and painters of the period. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of a young prince in the 13th century English court.
