Edward IV was a pivotal figure in the Wars of the Roses, which saw the Houses of York and Lancaster clash for control of England's throne. Born in 1443, Edward ascended to power in 1461 and reigned until his untimely death in 1483. His reign marked a period of relative stability after years of turmoil. The genealogy can be traced back to Edward III, showcasing his royal lineage. This connection to past monarchs is further highlighted by the presence of their armorial bearings and badges depicted in coloured engravings. One significant event during Edward's rule was the Battle of Tewkesbury, where Queen Margaret fled following her defeat. A colour lithograph captures this dramatic moment as she escapes from her pursuers. Elizabeth Woodville played an influential role as Queen consort to Edward IV. An oil painting from around 1500 portrays her regal beauty and elegance, reflecting her status at court. Edward's brother-in-law, Anthony Woodville, Earl Rivers, presented him with "Dictes and Saying of the Philosophers, " showcasing their shared intellectual pursuits through a beautifully illuminated manuscript from the fifteenth century. However, not all aspects of Edward IV's reign were positive. The murder of the Princes in the Tower remains one of history's most enduring mysteries. A chilling colour lithograph depicts this tragic event that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. The Tower of London serves as a haunting reminder both symbolically and literally as it stands witness to these dark moments in history. An engraving showcases its imposing presence during Edward IV's time on the throne. Stepping away from politics momentarily, a lithograph transports us back into everyday life during Edward IV's reign with a vibrant street scene bustling with activity - giving us glimpses into daily life during this era. A portrait immortalizes King Edward himself - capturing his regal countenance while reminding us that he was a man who shaped the destiny of England during his reign.
