EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard depicts the Garde du Corps du Roi, Compagnie Ecossaise, or the Scottish Company of the King's Bodyguard, established in 1419. King Francis I of France relied heavily on this elite unit, which was the first Scottish company to serve in the French royal army. The Garde du Corps du Roi was renowned for its exceptional horsemanship and archery skills, making it an indispensable force in the king's military. The image showcases the distinctive uniforms of the Scottish guards, which included kilts, plaid sashes, and feathered bonnets. The cavalrymen are depicted wearing armour adorned with intricate designs and carrying longbows, while the archers are shown with quivers slung over their shoulders and arrows at the ready. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph, derived from a miniature in Roger de Gaignières portfolio, highlights the historical significance and grandeur of this esteemed unit. The Garde du Corps du Roi, Compagnie Ecossaise played a pivotal role in various battles during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, including the Battle of Marignan in 1515 and the Battle of Pavia in 1525. Their bravery and skill on the battlefield earned them a lasting place in French military history. This print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage and tradition of the Scottish Company of the King's Bodyguard.
