EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Henry V of England is attacked by the Duke of Alencon at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The battle, a significant event during the Hundred Years War, proved to be a decisive victory for the English forces led by King Henry V over their French counterparts commanded by Charles d Albret. In this particular scene, John I, Duke of Alencon, valiantly leads a counterattack against Henry V and his army. Despite managing to cut an ornament from Henry's crown as a symbolic act of defiance, John I ultimately succumbs to the overwhelming power of the King's bodyguard and meets his demise on that fateful day. The image showcases not only the ferocity and chaos of medieval combat but also highlights key elements such as armor-clad soldiers wielding swords and shields. Banners fluttering in the wind proudly display national symbols representing both sides involved in this historic clash. Preserved through lithography techniques in 1864 by James William Edmund Doyle, this artwork transports us back to one of history's most pivotal moments. It serves as a testament to courage displayed on both sides while immortalizing King Henry V's triumph over adversity. This photograph print from Heritage Images allows us to delve into our rich past and appreciate how these events shaped nations and defined eras.
