EDITORS COMMENTS
Amaury VI, Count of Montfort (1195-1241), is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard, taken from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." This historical portrait showcases the Count in his full regalia, wearing a helmet adorned with a crest and plumes, a suit of armor made up of chainmail and plate, cuisses to protect the thighs, a tunic, and a coat of arms displayed proudly on his chest. The escutcheon, or shield, bears the Montfort blazon, a golden eagle on a red background, while a banner, also emblazoned with the Montfort arms, is draped over the horse's caparison. Amaury VI was a significant figure during the Middle Ages, playing a crucial role in the Albigensian Crusade, a military campaign against the Cathar heresy in southern France. His military prowess and unwavering commitment to the Catholic Church earned him the respect and admiration of his contemporaries. This exquisite engraving not only captures the essence of medieval fashion but also provides a glimpse into the life of a pivotal historical figure.
