The story goes that England's Edward III, after a victory in the Battle of Crécy, laid siege to Calais and Philip VI of France ordered the city to hold out at all costs. After Philip failed to lift the siege and the city surrendered, Edward offered to spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed. How is this story immortalized in art?
