EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the tumultuous history of England. Depicted here is William I, The Conqueror, the formidable king who ascended to the English throne in 1066. However, this particular scene showcases an extraordinary event during his reign that unfolded in January 1079. In a shocking act of rebellion, William's own eldest son Robert of Normandy, known as Curthose due to his short stature, can be seen unhorsing and wounding his father on the battlefield. This clash between father and son was a pivotal moment that forever altered their relationship and left an indelible mark on English history. The engraving itself is taken from The Imperial History of England by Theophilus Camden, published in London back in 1832. It beautifully captures the intensity and emotion of this historic encounter between two powerful figures. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the complex dynamics within royal families throughout history. It serves as a testament to the struggles for power and authority that often plagued even those closest to each other. This photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into one such riveting episode from British royalty – one that continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
