EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The barge of Edgar manned by eight kings on the Dee, 973 AD" takes us back in time to a significant moment in British history. Captured by James William Edmund Doyle and published in London in 1863, this color lithograph showcases the grandeur and power of King Edgar as he receives homage from eight noble rulers. Intriguingly, we witness Kenneth, king of Scotland; his son Malcolm, king of Cumbria; Mac Oric of the Isles; Dufnal of South Wales; Siferth and Howel of North Wales; Jacob of Galloway; and Jukel of Westmoreland all gathered together on this majestic vessel. They have taken an oath at St. John the Baptist Church in Bath to pledge their allegiance to their superior lord. The image exudes regality with its depiction of a castle fortress towering above them while flags flutter proudly against the backdrop. The rowing boats gracefully glide along the River Dee as these royal figures sit confidently upon their thrones within the barge. This remarkable scene not only highlights England's rich history but also emphasizes unity among various regions under one crown. It serves as a testament to King Edgar's authority and influence during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this extraordinary print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Britain's past and marvel at its vibrant tapestry woven through centuries-old traditions and allegiances.
