EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts William I, also known as William the Conqueror or William the Bastard, the first Norman king of England. The image is derived from an engraved portrait housed in the British Museum, showcasing the monarch in his regal attire of the 11th century. William, born in France as the Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066 and claimed the English throne following the Battle of Hastings. The portrait illustrates William wearing an ornate helmet adorned with intricate designs, symbolizing his power and military prowess. The king is also depicted wearing a heavy chain mail armor, a common protective garment during the medieval period. His royal crown sits atop his head, signifying his sovereign status. The photograph print is published in "The Portrait Book of Our Kings and Queens 1066-1911," edited by T. Leman Hare. The book, published by T.C. & E.C. Jack in London and Edinburgh during the 1910s, offers a comprehensive collection of portraits of British monarchs throughout history. William I's rule marked a significant turning point in English history, bringing about the Norman Conquest and the establishment of the Norman Dynasty. His impact on the country's political, social, and cultural landscape has left an indelible mark that continues to be felt to this day. The photograph print serves as a testament to the rich history of Britain and its monarchy, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable reign of one of its most influential kings.
