EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the regal presence of King Edward IV of England (1442-1483) and his beloved queen, Elizabeth Woodville (1437-1492), in the prime of their reign. Edward, a dynamic and charismatic monarch, came to power in 1461 after a tumultuous period of civil war, known as the Wars of the Roses. Elizabeth, a noblewoman of the House of Lancaster, was an unexpected choice for a queen consort, given the longstanding enmity between the houses of York and Lancaster. However, their marriage brought a sense of unity and stability to the realm, and their union produced a brood of ten children. Edward and Elizabeth are depicted here in formal attire, Edward wearing the regal ermine-trimmed robe and Elizabeth in a rich, velvet gown adorned with pearls and other precious jewels. Their eyes meet with a deep connection, reflecting the strong bond between them. The rich tapestry background, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adds to the grandeur and opulence of the scene. Elizabeth Woodville is known for her intelligence, beauty, and political acumen, and she played a significant role in the political landscape of the late medieval period. She was a shrewd diplomat and a devoted mother, who used her influence to protect her family and secure the future of her children. Her most famous offspring was Elizabeth of York, who would later marry Henry VII and become the mother of Henry VIII, the Tudor monarch. This portrait of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville serves as a testament to their enduring love and the power of the monarch's union to shape the course of history.
