June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.

Bronze effigy of a medieval knight in full armor, lying supine with hands clasped in prayer. The knight's armor is intricately detailed, featuring floral patterns and chainmail elements. Behind the effigy, metal bars hint at the protective enclosure around the sculpture. The lighting accentuates the metallic texture and ornate design of the armor.

Despite having my opinion towards Christendom and rather following the Nordic beliefs, I always admired the ways especially cathedrals were built in the well-known gothic style.

It's amazing what people were able to create in the Middle Ages just for God's sake and if you've ever read Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" you will know what I am talking about - this archway of Canterbury Cathedral's inner courtyard is a piece of architectural excellence in terms of a gothic building!
