EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in English history - the aftermath of the Battle of Evesham on 4th August 1265 during the Barons' War. The battle was won by an army loyal to King Henry III, marking a significant victory for the royalists. However, amidst this triumph lies a grim scene as depicted in this English manuscript illumination. In the center of attention is Simon de Montford, the 6th Earl of Leicester and leader of the rebel barons. Sadly, he met his tragic fate on that fateful day as he was killed in action. His lifeless body lays before us, bearing witness to both his valiant efforts and ultimate defeat. Shockingly, his corpse has been mutilated - a gruesome act that speaks volumes about the brutality and vengeance prevalent during these medieval conflicts. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the high stakes involved in power struggles during this period. It showcases not only the violence inflicted upon individuals but also highlights how loyalty to one's cause could lead to such devastating consequences. As we gaze at this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, we are transported back to an era where men fought fiercely for their beliefs and kings sought absolute control over their realms. This photograph print offers us a glimpse into England's tumultuous past while reminding us of its enduring impact on our present-day society.
