Hubert de Burgh: A Heroic Defender of England In the midst of a turbulent era, Hubert de Burgh emerged as a steadfast guardian of English soil. With his unwavering determination and strategic brilliance, he played a pivotal role in safeguarding the nation from foreign invasion. One captivating depiction showcases Hubert de Burgh urging the Garrison of Dover to resist the landing of the French in 1217. In this engraving, his commanding presence is evident as he rallies his troops, instilling them with courage and resolve. Another vibrant lithograph portrays an intriguing encounter between Hubert de Burgh and a blacksmith in AD1232. This meeting symbolizes his ability to forge alliances and unite people from all walks of life for a common cause – defending their homeland against external threats. History tells us that even sanctuary could not shield him from danger. The gripping account reveals how Hubert was taken from sanctuary at Boisars, highlighting both his prominence and vulnerability during those tumultuous times. Amidst these trials, one cannot overlook the naming of the ship Invicta – meaning undefeated or unconquered – which pays homage to Hubert's indomitable spirit. This colorful lithograph captures the essence of resilience that defined him throughout his illustrious career. Gualo's act of placing a golden ring upon young Hubert's head further emphasizes his exceptional qualities even at an early age. It serves as a testament to his innate leadership abilities that would later shape history itself. The defeat of the French fleet in the English Channel stands out as one of Hubert's most significant achievements. Illustrated vividly in Cassell's publication, it immortalizes this momentous victory and solidifies him as an iconic figure who defended England's shores with unparalleled valor. Not only did he excel on battlefields but also on stage; "King John" portrayed by Oxford University Dramatic Club showcased their admiration for Hubert's character and his pivotal role in shaping the destiny of England.
