Information |
This tapestry is based on a classic painting by Edmund Blair Leighton entitled 'The Accolade' . It features a knight dressed in a coat of chain mail armor. The brave night shows his humble servitude as he kneels before the beautiful princess and is sworn in with the edge of a sword. Dimensions of the tapestry: 31" x 40". Material: Cotton; Woven Belgian in USA; Unlined & finished with tapestry rod sleeve; Brand New. According to the History of Knights the young man was made a knight at the age of 21. This was an occasion of elaborate ceremony and solemn vows. After a purification bath, the candidate for knighthood knelt or stood all night in prayer before the altar on which lay the precious armor he would don on the morrow. In the morning there was a religious ritual, with perhaps a sermon on the knight's duty to protect the weak, to right wrongs, and to honor women. Then in the courtyard in the presence of the assembled knights and fair ladies, a knight's armor was buckled on, piece by piece, a sword was girded about his waist, and spurs were attached to the candidate's feet. He then knelt to receive the accolade. This was a blow upon the neck or shoulder, given by the officiating lord or knight with his fist or with the flat of a sword. As he gave it he said, "In the name of God and St. Michael and St. George, I dub thee knight; be brave and loyal." Attending the conferring of knighthood, the young knight was free to go where he pleased. Usually he rode forth in quest of adventure, armor on his back, his spurs on his heels, and with sword, shield, and lance ready to hand. Great addition to any medieval history inspired collection or any tapestry collection! |
