EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when Wittekind, the legendary leader of the Saxons, submitted to Charlemagne, the Frankish king, in the year 777. The scene unfolds at Attigny, a small town in present-day France, where Wittekind, also known as Widukind or Widuking, finally yielded to Charlemagne's relentless campaigns to bring the Saxons under his rule. Wittekind, a fierce warrior and a devout pagan, had long resisted the Frankish advances, leading several rebellions against Charlemagne's expanding empire. However, after years of conflict, Wittekind saw the writing on the wall and decided to seek peace. He arrived at Attigny with a delegation of Saxon nobles, bearing gifts and pledging allegiance to Charlemagne. In this print, Wittekind is depicted on bended knee before Charlemagne, symbolizing his submission. The Frankish king, dressed in regal attire and holding a scepter, looks down upon Wittekind with a stern yet compassionate expression. The scene is set against a backdrop of a beautiful French countryside, with rolling hills and a clear blue sky. The momentous event marked the end of the Saxon Wars and the beginning of a new era in European history. Wittekind was not only submitting to Charlemagne's political authority but also agreeing to be baptized, marking the conversion of the last major Germanic tribe to Christianity. This print is a testament to the power and influence of Charlemagne, who is often referred to as the 'Father of Europe,' and the enduring impact of his reign on the continent's political, cultural, and religious landscape.
