EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event from the pages of history. The image depicts "Ms Fr 2629 fol. 300 The Countess of Jaffa (c. 1136-88) crowning Guy of Lusignan (d. 1194)" as captured by the French School in the 15th century. The scene unfolds within the grandeur of a medieval court, where an air of anticipation fills the space. Standing at the center is the regal figure of The Countess of Jaffa, adorned in luxurious ermine robes and holding a magnificent crown in her hands. With grace and authority, she places this symbol of power upon Guy's head, signifying his ascension to greatness. Surrounding them are various figures representing religious orders and clergy members who bear witness to this sacred ceremony. A bishop stands tall with his crosse and mitre while monks clad in humble robes offer their blessings from afar. This historical moment holds significant meaning for both individuals involved - The Countess being married to Almaric, Count of Ascalon and Jaffa, while Guy is her son-in-law through his marriage to her daughter Sibylla. Through this remarkable artwork preserved on vellum by William Tyre around 1470, we gain insight into a pivotal chapter in Jerusalem's conquest history. It serves as a testament to the intricate tapestry woven between religion, politics, and family ties during
