EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of surrender at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, an engagement that marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War between England and France. The defeated French forces, led by Jean II, Duke of Normandy and later King Jean II of France, are seen yielding to the triumphant English army under the command of Edward, the Black Prince. Edward, the eldest son of King Edward III, had been waging war against France since 1337, in a dispute over the French throne. The Battle of Poitiers, fought on September 19, 1356, was a decisive victory for the English, with the French forces suffering heavy losses. Jean II, who had taken command of the French army after the death of King John II, was captured during the battle and held as a prisoner for over twenty years. The image shows Jean II, dressed in full armor, being led by English knights towards Edward, who is depicted on horseback, wearing a helmet and holding a scepter. The defeated French nobles, including the Duke of Bourbon and the Count of Alençon, are also present, having surrendered to the English forces. The background shows the chaos of the battlefield, with tents and banners scattered about, and the smoke of battle still rising in the air. This print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Hundred Years War and the pivotal role played by Edward, the Black Prince, in shaping the course of English-French relations. The image is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination displayed by the warriors of the Middle Ages, as well as the political and military strategies that shaped the European landscape of the time.
