Lord Hastings, a name that resonates with both treachery and valor. In the annals of history, he is remembered for his role in the tumultuous times of medieval England. From the murder of Prince Edward to his fateful demise, Lord Hastings left an indelible mark on the pages of time. The Battle of Tewkesbury stands as a testament to Lord Hastings' loyalty to King Edward IV. It was here that he fought valiantly, leading his troops with unwavering courage against their enemies. The clash of swords and cries echoed through the fields as victory was secured on that fateful day - 4th May 1471. But amidst tales of bravery, there lies a darker side to Lord Hastings' story. The murder of Prince Edward after his capture by King Edward IV sent shockwaves throughout the kingdom. Some whispered accusations pointed towards Lord Hastings as being complicit in this heinous act, forever staining his reputation. In artwork and engravings, we see glimpses into Lord Hastings' life and legacy. His portrait reveals a man shrouded in mystery - Warren Hastings himself depicted with intensity and determination etched upon his face. A duel between him and Francis captures their rivalry frozen in time; two men locked in combat over power and influence. Yet not all depictions are marred by controversy or conflict. We witness Warren Hastings reviewing Pearse's column - an image showcasing leadership and strategic prowess during times when stability was sought after most desperately. Beyond battles and politics, we catch glimpses into other aspects of Lord Hasting's life too: attending meetings at archaeological institutes or enjoying moments among fellow horse racing enthusiasts captured in engravings titled "Celebrities of the Turf. " These snapshots offer us insight into a multifaceted individual whose interests extended beyond mere warfare. And then there is death – portrayed solemnly yet dramatically through engravings capturing this final chapter of Lord Hastings' life.
