Robert, Duke of Normandy, captured at the Battle of Tinchebraye, Normandy, 1106 (1864)
Robert, Duke of Normandy, captured at the Battle of Tinchebraye, Normandy, 1106 (1864). Taken prisoner by the Breton clerk, Baudri. Robert Curthose (1054-1134) was the eldest son of William the Conqueror. In 1077 he rebelled against his father after William failed to punish Roberts brothers, William Rufus and Henry I, after they played a humiliating prank on him. When William died, he opted to name William Rufus as his heir to the English crown, leaving Robert as Duke of Normandy. Henry, meanwhile, was left the sum of £ 5000. In 1100 William II died after being shot by an arrow while hunting in the New Forest. Robert was away on the First Crusade and in his absence, Henry seized the crown, despite the fact that William and Robert had agreed that the latter was the rightful heir. Robert returned and pursued his claim, but was defeated by Henry at Tinchebraye, which lost him the Duchy of Normandy as well. After his capture, Robert spent the rest of his life in prison at Devizes, then Cardiff, where he died, by then in his eighties, in 1134

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the capture of Robert, Duke of Normandy, at the Battle of Tinchebraye in 1106. The year was 1864 when this photograph was taken, showcasing the historical event that occurred nearly eight centuries prior. Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, rebelled against his father in 1077 after his brothers played a prank on him and their father failed to punish them. When William passed away, he named his younger brother William Rufus as heir to the English crown while leaving Robert as Duke of Normandy. Another brother, Henry I, received a sum of £5000. However, fate took an unexpected turn when William Rufus died from an arrow wound during a hunting trip in 1100. In Robert's absence on the First Crusade, Henry seized the crown despite their previous agreement. Determined to reclaim what he believed was rightfully his, Robert returned and confronted Henry at Tinchebraye but suffered defeat. The consequences were severe for Robert - not only did he lose control over Normandy but also spent the remainder of his life imprisoned first at Devizes and later Cardiff Castle until his death in 1134 at an advanced age. This print serves as a powerful reminder of one man's struggle for power and how it ultimately led to his downfall.
