EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Henry II, the esteemed King of England during the 12th century. The image showcases his regal presence as he authorizes Dermot MacMorrough, the banished king of Leinster, to gather forces from among the English in an attempt to reclaim his crown. Henry II, known as the first Plantagenet king of England, ruled with authority and strength from 1154 onwards. In this wood engraving that dates back to around 1860, we witness a powerful scene unfold. Dressed in majestic medieval attire with a striking cloak draped over his shoulders and adorned with a magnificent crown upon his head, Henry II exudes royalty and power. The focus shifts towards Dermot MacMorrough standing before him - a figure filled with determination and hope for redemption. This encounter between two influential figures symbolizes both political intrigue and personal ambition within medieval society. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back to an era where kingdoms were forged through alliances and battles for supremacy were waged. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by historical figures like Henry II and Dermot MacMorrough who shaped nations through their actions
