Sir William de la More: A Gallant Knight in the Service of the Black Prince This evocative image captures the moment of triumph and honor as Sir William de la More, a valiant soldier in the service of the Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), is knighted on the battlefield of Poitiers, France, in 1356. The Black Prince, the eldest son of King Edward III of England, was leading a campaign against the French king, John II, when they clashed in a decisive battle that would change the course of the Hundred Years War. Sir William de la More, a skilled and fearless knight, distinguished himself in the heat of battle, earning the admiration and respect of his comrades and the Black Prince himself. As the dust settled and the victorious English forces celebrated their hard-won victory, Sir William was summoned before the Black Prince and, with great ceremony, was knighted on the very battlefield where he had proven his valor and mettle. The date of Sir William's flourishing, or the time when he first came to prominence, is recorded as 1356, making this a significant moment in the annals of English history. This historical print, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, honor, and the clash of arms on the battlefield. Sir William de la More's story is a testament to the enduring spirit of the knight, and this image stands as a reminder of the valor and courage that defined the Middle Ages. Whether you are an avid history buff, a student of the Middle Ages, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and drama of history, this print is a must-have addition to your collection.
