EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic events of the Flight of Leudaste, a tale of treachery and downfall in 6th century France. Leudaste, once a lowly serf, cunningly rose to become the powerful Count of Tours through deceit and manipulation. However, his lecherous ways and devious schemes eventually caught up with him as he found himself fleeing from a host of enemies seeking revenge.
In a desperate bid for mercy, Leudaste sought refuge with the queen, only to meet a brutal end at her hands. The queen, unmoved by his pleas, ordered him to be battered to death as punishment for his crimes.
The year was 582 when this tragic chapter in history unfolded, leaving behind a legacy of betrayal and retribution. The Flight of Leudaste serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of greed and deceit, reminding us that even the most powerful can fall from grace.
This print is not just a snapshot in time but a window into an era filled with intrigue and political turmoil. It immortalizes the final moments of a man who thought he could outwit fate but ultimately met his demise at the hands of those he wronged.
