EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Submission to Chester, where King Edgar (943-975) asserts his dominance and loyalty by climbing aboard a barge on the Dee River. The barge is manned by eight kings, including Kenneth II of Scotland, Mael Coluim mac Domnall of Strathclyde, Iago ab Idwal and Hywel ab Ieuaf of Wales, Mac Harald of the Islands, and others who all pledge their allegiance to King Edgar.
The scene is rich in symbolism and power dynamics as each king takes an oath of homage to their superior lord at the church of St John the Baptist in Bath. The intricate details captured in this illustration from ""A Chronicle of England"" by James Doyle in 1864 bring this historic event to life with vivid clarity.
The image not only showcases the grandeur and authority of King Edgar but also highlights the complex relationships between different kingdoms during that era. It serves as a reminder of the political intricacies and alliances that shaped medieval Europe.
Overall, this print is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance, offering viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history.
