Charles the Bold's flight after Morat

This images the flight of Charles the Bold after the Battle of Morat by E Burnand. The Battle of Morat (or Battle of Murten) was a battle in the Burgundian Wars (1474-77) that was fought on 22 June 1476 between Charles the Bold, the Duke of Burgundy, and a Swiss Confederate army at Morat/Murten, about 18 miles from Bern. The result was a crushing defeat for the Burgundians at the hands of the Swiss. Eugène Burnand (30 August 1850 - 4 February 1921) was a prolific Swiss painter and illustrator from Moudon, Switzerland. Born of prosperous parents who taught him to appreciate art and the countryside, he first trained as an architect but quickly realised his vocation was painting.
