EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Richard III accepts the Crown of England in 1483. After the marriage between King Edward IV and Elizabeth Grey was declared void due to accusations of witchcraft and sorcery, Richard was invited by the Duke of Buckingham to assume the throne. With a mix of determination and uncertainty in his eyes, Richard takes on the weighty responsibility of ruling a kingdom plagued by political intrigue.
The artist James Doyle skillfully depicts this pivotal moment in English history with intricate detail and dramatic flair. The ornate crown gleams in the light as it is placed upon Richard's head, symbolizing his newfound power and authority. The figures surrounding him look on with a mixture of awe and apprehension, unsure of what lies ahead under this new monarch's rule.
As we gaze upon this illustration from "A Chronicle-of-England," we are transported back to a time of tumultuous change and shifting alliances. Richard III's reign would be marked by controversy and conflict, ultimately leading to his tragic downfall at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly fortunes can shift in the game of thrones, leaving behind a legacy that continues to fascinate historians and storytellers alike.
