EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intense atmosphere of a pivotal moment in English history during the reign of King Richard II. Dated November 1387, this print depicts Richard II seated on his ornate throne, his regal crown resting on the floor before him, as he presides over an Appeal of Treason. The process, used three times during Richard's reign, was initiated by the Duke of Gloucester, the Earl of Arundel, and the Earl of Warwick, who accused five of the king's favourites, including Edward De Vere, Nicholas Brembre, and the Archbishop of York, of wrongdoing. The scene exudes an air of chivalry and nobility, with the king's gauntlet lying on the tiled floor, ready for the challenge to be thrown down. The intricately tiled floor, reminiscent of the time's grandeur and opulence, reflects the seriousness of the proceedings. The duke, dressed in his finest robes and wearing a fur-trimmed mantle, stands before the king, his expression determined and resolute. The other accusers, also dressed in rich clothing, flank the duke, their gazes fixed on the king. Richard II, with a calm and contemplative expression, listens intently to the accusations, his hands folded in front of him. The weight of the situation is evident on his face, as he considers the gravity of the allegations against his favourites. The intricate details of the print, from the intricately designed throne to the ornate clothing and accessories, transport us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the courtly world of medieval England.
