EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the 10th century history of Britain, as King Edgar of England (circa 943-975), also known as the Peaceful or Peaceable King, gathers the allegiance of other British monarchs on the banks of the River Dee. Edgar's coronation did not take place until 973, and this significant event transpired shortly afterwards at Chester. Six kings, including the King of Scotland and the King of Strathclyde, pledged their faith that they would be Edgar's liege-men on both sea and land. In this scene, these monarchs are depicted rowing in Edgar's state barge, symbolizing their unity and commitment to the new king. The peaceful waters of the River Dee reflect the harmony and tranquility that Edgar aimed to bring to the realm. Chroniclers of the time recorded this historic event, and this image offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political alliances and the power of the monarchy in medieval Britain.
