EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edward II of England, depicted on horseback, turns away from Stirling Castle after suffering a devastating defeat in the Battle of Bannockburn on June 24, 1314. The First War of Scottish Independence had reached its climax as the Scottish army, led by Robert the Bruce, successfully repulsed the English forces. With the castle about to be surrendered to the Scots, King Edward II, wearing his distinctive chainmail armor, gazes back one last time at the imposing fortress. The drawbridge and portcullis of Stirling Castle are raised in surrender, symbolizing the end of English dominance over Scotland. The image, created in the 14th century, captures the poignant moment of defeat for King Edward II and the beginning of a new era in Scottish history. Horses and their riders fill the background, adding to the chaotic scene of the aftermath of battle. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and political upheaval in the British Isles.
