EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts Willem van Holland, also known as William of Holland, a prominent German ruler who held the title of Count of Holland and Zeeland. The image shows Willem dressed in the regal attire of the 13th century, with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hand. He is shown standing before the city gates of Utrecht, a significant city in the Netherlands, with the city's coat of arms visible on the gates. Willem's connection to Utrecht is notable, as he was granted the title of freeman of the city in 1248. This honor was bestowed upon him in recognition of his military support and contributions to the city's defense during a time of conflict. The inscription at the bottom of the print confirms this historical fact, adding to its authenticity and value as a record of the past. Willem van Holland played a significant role in the political landscape of the Netherlands during the Middle Ages. He was a member of the powerful House of Avesnes and ruled over Holland and Zeeland from 1234 until his death in 1256. His reign was marked by military campaigns, diplomatic efforts, and the expansion of his territories. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Netherlands during the Middle Ages, showcasing the important role of its rulers and the significance of the cities that shaped its cultural and political landscape. The intricate details of Willem's attire, the city gates, and the coat of arms all add to the visual richness of the image and transport us back in time to an era of knights, castles, and grandeur.
