EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a dark moment in French history - the unjust hanging of Enguerrand de Marigny on April 30, 1315. Accused of various crimes, including corruption, Marigny was the unfortunate scapegoat for the unpopular decisions made during the reign of King Philippe IV. As Philippe IV lay dying, his minister became an easy target for those looking to assign blame. Despite protests of innocence and loyalty to his king, Marigny met his end at Montfaucon, a grim reminder of the ruthless nature of politics in medieval France. The image is a stark reminder of how power can corrupt and destroy even the most loyal servants. The events surrounding Marigny's downfall serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of being too closely associated with those in positions of authority. History is filled with stories like this one - where injustice prevails and lives are sacrificed for political expediency. As we look upon this photograph, we are reminded that behind every historical event lies a human story - one that deserves to be remembered and honored. Let us not forget Enguerrand de Marigny and others like him who suffered at the hands of power-hungry rulers. May their memory serve as a warning against repeating past mistakes and injustices.
