EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the likeness of Edward II, King of England, during the 14th century. Created by renowned artist William Faithorne and featured in Woodburns Gallery of Rare Portraits, this print showcases the intricate details that bring history to life. Edward II ruled England from 1307 until his untimely death in 1327. The image portrays him wearing a regal crown, symbolizing his authority as monarch. His expression is one of contemplation and power, hinting at the complex nature of his reign. The late Middle Ages were a time marked by political turmoil and shifting alliances. Edward II's rule was no exception; he faced numerous challenges from rebellious barons and even his own wife Isabella. This engraving provides a glimpse into this tumultuous period in English history. The chains depicted in the image serve as a reminder of Edward II's eventual downfall. He was famously deposed by his own wife and her lover Roger Mortimer, leading to his imprisonment and subsequent mysterious death. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are transported back to an era filled with intrigue and power struggles. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with medieval royalty and reminds us of the complexities inherent in governing during such turbulent times.
