Disloyalty, an age-old tale woven into the threads of history and art. The Tapestry of The Queen of France and the Disloyal Marshall, a 15th-century masterpiece, depicts the betrayal of trust between the monarch and her trusted advisor. In the realm of portraits, the Blessed Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumberland, is shown with a disloyal heart, while the infamous Bob Ford's disloyalty to Jesse James was etched in infamy. In literature, Shakespeare's Coriolanus and his mother's pleas for mercy reveal the complexities of loyalty and disloyalty. All's Well That Ends Well's title page hints at the resolution of disloyalty, while Samson and Delilah's story serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of disloyalty. Even in the modern era, the labor movement saw the implications of disloyalty, as one worker cautioned another. The Retort Courteous, a 16th-century political treatise, explores the disloyal address, a formal response to a disloyal act. Disloyalty, a thread that runs through the tapestry of human history, continues to intrigue and challenge us.
