Bertrand du Guesclin, a legendary figure in French history, is depicted in various scenes that showcase his bravery and resilience. In one lithograph, Marshal de Sancerre brings hostages to the foot of the walls, highlighting Du Guesclin's strategic prowess. Another lithograph portrays him surprising the English with his tactical maneuvers. An engraving shows Du Guesclin alongside Thomas de Canterbury, emphasizing his alliance with influential figures. In another engraving, he forms a regiment of young children who join him in battle, demonstrating his ability to inspire and lead. However, not all moments were victorious for Du Guesclin. A color lithograph captures the Battle of Auray where he is thrown from his horse and captured by Sir John Chandos. Despite this setback, he remains defiant as depicted in another lithograph where he proclaims that "All the women of France will spin their distaffs to pay my ransom. " In an engraving showing Sir Bertrand kneeling before a princess, we witness his chivalrous nature and respect towards women. These engravings further highlight Du Guesclin's honorable character. A colorful lithograph showcases him once again along with a brief description stating "Bertrand du Guesclin (litho). " This simple yet powerful image encapsulates the essence of this remarkable historical figure. Lastly, there is mention of a performance at Theatre de la Porte-Saint-Martin depicting Messire du Guesclin's exploits on stage. This indicates that even centuries after his death in 1380, Du Guesclin continues to captivate audiences with tales of valor and heroism.
