EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the moment of William I conquering during the assault and capture of Mantes in July 1087. William, also known as William the Conqueror, was Duke of Normandy and King of England from 1066 until his death. The image shows him leading his troops through the ruins of Mantes after a siege and fire had ravaged the city.
In this illustration from "A Chronicle of England" by James Doyle, we see William on horseback, bravely crossing the devastated landscape. However, tragedy struck when he fell from his horse during this conquest, sustaining fatal injuries that would ultimately lead to his demise.
William's legacy as a formidable ruler and military leader is evident in this dramatic depiction of his final campaign. His determination to expand his territories and assert his authority over France is palpable in every detail of this scene.
As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us to shape the course of history. William I may have met a tragic end at Mantes, but his impact on medieval Europe will never be forgotten.
