EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Baudouin, Count of Flanders (1036-1067), in his role as Regent of France during the year 1066. Baudouin, a prominent figure of the European medieval scene, is shown here in regal attire, exuding an air of authority and confidence. The intricate details of his clothing, including his fur-trimmed mantle and embroidered tunic, reflect the wealth and power of the Count of Flanders. Baudouin's appointment as Regent of France came about due to the absence of King Henry I of France, who was engaged in military campaigns in Germany at the time. Baudouin's regency marked a period of relative peace and stability in the region, as he skillfully navigated the complex political landscape of medieval France. The background of the print showcases the lush greenery and rolling hills of the French countryside, providing a serene contrast to the regal figure of Baudouin. The inclusion of a hawk perched on his gloved hand serves as a reminder of his status as a nobleman and warrior, as falconry was a popular pastime among the medieval elite. This print, dating from circa 1066, offers a unique glimpse into the life of an influential medieval figure and the political climate of the time. It is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Middle Ages, and a reminder of the enduring allure of this fascinating period in human history.
