Philip VI of France, also known as Philippe VI of Valois, played a significant role in the tumultuous period of the Hundred Years War. In 1346, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, he sought asylum at the Chateau de Broye. This historic event is vividly depicted in a captivating illustration from 1896. One of the most decisive battles during this conflict was the Battle of Crecy in 1346. An engraving from that time showcases Philip VI's involvement in this fierce clash between France and England. Queen Philippa, wife of King Edward III of England, pleaded with her husband to spare the lives of the Burgers of Calais after their surrender in 1347. An engraving captures this poignant moment when diplomacy and mercy intersected amidst war's brutality. As seen in various engravings and chromolithos, Philip VI was an influential figure among French kings and queens during the 14th and 15th centuries. His reign marked a crucial period for France as it navigated through political turmoil and territorial disputes with neighboring countries. In another intriguing engraving, we witness Philip VI rendering homage to Edward III but only as Duke of Aquitaine—a symbolic gesture highlighting complex power dynamics within feudal Europe. Artifacts from that era provide glimpses into royal life; one such artifact is a group portrait featuring Donor Figures including a king—possibly representing Philip VI himself—and other prominent individuals from French society around 1350. The events surrounding Philip VI's rule were not limited to battlefields alone. The English Passing The Somme painting depicts scenes beyond warfare—perhaps offering insights into daily life or strategic movements during this turbulent time. Tragically, history also records darker episodes like Jacob Van Ardevelt's cruel murder by Ghent's populace—an incident that unfolded against the backdrop of political unrest gripping Europe during Philip VI's reign.
