The kingdom of France in early 1429, showing the division of territory between English, Burgundian and Armagnac rule.
Charles VI of France, the Mad and Well-Beloved. Charles retained the love of his people and his title as the ‘most Christian king’, despite the intermittent psychosis that left him unable to rule and his kingdom in the grip of civil war. This exquisite figure is from an enamelled gold altar-piece which the queen, Isabeau of Bavaria, gave to her husband as a New Year’s gift in 1405. The image of the king kneeling before the Virgin and Child not only demonstrates his blond good looks (and his concern to disguise his receding hairline), but seems, in his wide-eyed gaze, to hint at his mental fragility.
Henry V of England, the challenger to Charles’s possession of the French throne, and ‘God’s own soldier’, as he was called by one of his chaplains. This profile portrait gives a sense of his stern and implacable will, but shows no sign of the scar left by the wound he suffered in battle when he was just sixteen: an arrow struck him in the face, penetrating deep into the bone to one side of his nose, and it took weeks to remove the arrowhead with a specially constructed surgical device. His recovery from this injury is likely to have fuelled the king’s belief in his divinely sanctioned destiny. He sports the cropped, round haircut popular among fashionable young men in the early decades of the fifteenth century.
The powerful dukes of Burgundy, John the Fearless and his son Philip the Good, in their trademark black velvet hats. The distinctive piled-up profile of John the Fearless’s chaperon hat appears in almost all contemporary depictions of him.
The magnificence of the increasingly independent Burgundian court is evident not only in Philip’s collar of his chivalric Order of the Golden Fleece (a golden sheepskin hanging from a chain of linked firesteels and flints, Philip’s personal emblem), but in the quality of the portrait, from the workshop of the Flemish artist Rogier van der Weyden.
