EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Glorious death of Jacques de Maille Marshal of the temple" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1877, this image is part of the Bibliotheque des Croisades collection, which chronicles the Third Crusade from AD 1148-1188. In this particular scene, we witness the tragic fate that befell Jacques de Maille and his fellow knights on May 1st, 1187. Surrounded by an overwhelming force of 2000 Saracens near Tabor, these brave warriors fought valiantly but were ultimately overwhelmed. The aftermath reveals a landscape stained with blood and littered with wounded soldiers. Despite their dire circumstances, one cannot help but be moved by the unwavering bravery displayed by these knights. Some are seen praying fervently amidst chaos while others bear visible wounds inflicted by arrows piercing their armor. It is a testament to their steadfast dedication to their cause and faith. This image serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made during this tumultuous period in history. It showcases both Christian martyrs and Muslim warriors engaged in a holy struggle for control over the Holy Land - an enduring symbol of religious conflict throughout time. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction captured by Ken Welsh's lens, let us reflect on the courage exhibited on that fateful day and honor those who gave their lives fighting for what they believed in.
