EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward, the Black Prince, presents his personal standard, or banner, to Sir John Chandos during the Siege of Calais in 1347, following their victory at the Battle of Crécy in 1346. This iconic moment in English history symbolizes the chivalric bond between the prince and his most trusted knight. The Battle of Crécy, fought on August 26, 1346, marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War between England and France. The English army, led by King Edward III and his son, the Black Prince, employed innovative military tactics, including the use of longbows and the "Welsh longbowmen," which proved decisive against the heavily armored French knights. The Black Prince, known for his bravery and military prowess, was only 25 years old at the time of the battle. He had already gained a reputation as a skilled military leader, having led English forces to victory in several battles against the French. Sir John Chandos, a veteran knight and a close confidant of the Black Prince, played a crucial role in the English victory at Crécy. He led the vanguard of the English army and was instrumental in securing the English victory. The presentation of the banner was a symbolic gesture of trust and recognition of Sir John Chandos's loyalty and valor. The banner, which bore the Black Prince's personal arms, would have been a powerful symbol of authority and leadership on the battlefield. The image of the Black Prince presenting his banner to Sir John Chandos is a testament to the chivalric ideals of the 14th century, where loyalty, honor, and courage were the defining qualities of a knight.
