The Death of Bohun, 16 March 1322
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. Depicting Humphrey (VI) de Bohun, the 4th Earl of Hereford, this image transports us back to the year 1322 and sheds light on an important event during Edward II's reign. Humphrey de Bohun was not only a member of a powerful Anglo-Norman family but also one of the Ordainers who stood against Edward II's excessive rule. It was on that fateful day, at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, where he met his untimely demise at the wooden bridge. This photograph originates from "British Battles on Land and Sea". Volume I by James Grant. Published around 1880 by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London, Paris & New York, it serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to the scene. We witness Humphrey de Bohun mounted on his horse with shield raised high while facing imminent danger. The atmosphere is charged with violence as conflict unfolds around him. The image encapsulates rebellion and defiance against authority within medieval Britain. It symbolizes bravery amidst chaos and stands as a testament to those who dared challenge their rulers for justice. "The Death of Bohun" invites viewers to reflect upon centuries-old power struggles while contemplating themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and honor. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our past and reminds us of the enduring spirit that drives individuals to fight for what they believe in.
