EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the late 15th century manuscript, "Histoire de Petit Jehan de Saintre," which chronicles the exploits of the renowned French knight, Jean de Saintre. In this thrilling scene, Jean de Saintre, depicted here in a helm adorned with a thistle crest, triumphantly defeats the Spanish knight Enguerrant, whose helm bears a stag crest. The tournament, a popular form of chivalric entertainment during the Middle Ages, is taking place before a grand audience, with spectators cheering and watching from balconies. The women in the crowd are dressed in elaborate headdresses, some with steeple-like structures, and turbans, adding an air of opulence and elegance to the event. The knights participating in the joust are clad in suits of plate armor, their armorial shields, helms, and crests proudly displayed. This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Thomas Anthony Day and J.H. Dines, provides a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of medieval tournaments, a time when knights tested their skills and courage in the pursuit of honor and glory.
