EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Henry IV of England, also known as Henry Bolingbroke, who ruled from 1399 to 1413. Born in 1367, Henry was the third surviving son of John of Gaunt and his first wife, Blanche of Lancaster. His claim to the throne came through his mother's lineage as a descendant of Edward III. Henry's reign began with his usurpation of Richard II, who was deposed and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Henry's accession marked the end of the Plantagenet line and the beginning of the House of Lancaster. His reign was marked by military campaigns in Scotland and Wales, as well as political instability and rebellion. The connection between Henry IV and William Shakespeare comes from the Bard's play "Henry IV, Part 1," which explores the relationship between the aging king and his son, Prince Hal. While the historical accuracy of the play is debated, it is a testament to the enduring fascination with the complexities of the English monarchy during this period. This print, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of England during the late Middle Ages. The image of Henry IV, with his regal bearing and serious expression, serves as a reminder of the tumultuous events that shaped the English monarchy and paved the way for the Tudor dynasty.
