EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, by the order of Henry VIII, demanding the Great Seal of Cardinal Wolsey" takes us back to a pivotal moment in English history. Created by an anonymous 18th-century English artist, this print captures a significant event during the reign of King Henry VIII. In this scene, we witness the powerful Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk standing before Cardinal Wolsey, who was once one of the king's most trusted advisors. However, due to political intrigue and power struggles within Henry's court, Wolsey fell out of favor with the monarch. Here, we see the dukes demanding that Wolsey hand over his position as Chancellor and surrender the Great Seal – a symbol of authority. The tension is palpable as these influential figures clash amidst swirling rumors and shifting alliances. This historical artwork serves as an illustration for Ashburton's History of England and offers us a glimpse into Tudor-era politics. It reminds us that even those closest to power can face downfall when they fall out of favor with their ruler. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in English history – one that shaped not only the fate of Cardinal Wolsey but also had far-reaching consequences for England itself.
