EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment captured in the early 15th century. Titled "Ms 814 Charles V (1338-80) returns the Sword of the High Constable to Bertrand du Guesclin (c. 1320-80) from the Histoire de Du Guesclin after the poem by Cuvelier" it depicts a scene filled with humility, honor, and chivalry. In this illuminated manuscript, we witness King Charles V of France, known as Charles the Wise, kneeling before Bertrand du Guesclin as he humbly returns the Sword of the High Constable. The image exudes deference and respect as Charles V pays homage to his loyal knight. The medieval setting is beautifully portrayed through intricate details such as armor, swords, and thrones. The vibrant colors used in this illumination bring life to every element within its composition. This significant event took place in 1370 when Charles V bestowed this prestigious sword upon du Guesclin for his unwavering loyalty and exceptional service to France. It symbolizes not only their close bond but also highlights du Guesclin's esteemed position within French society during that time. Through this remarkable artwork preserved at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, we are transported back to an era where knights upheld codes of honor and kings recognized their most trusted warriors. This piece serves as a testament to both history and artistry while immortalizing an important chapter in European royalty.
