Lord Pigot: A 15th-century English noble with a rich history. His coat of arms, adorned with a lion and a star, graced the halls of power during Henry VII's reign (1485-1509), the first Tudor monarch of England. Witnessed by an initial portrait of the king from the late 1480s, Lord Pigot played a role in Henry's first act of parliament. Fast forward to the 18th century, the name Pigot resurfaced at Corngraves, near Halesowen, where the British Iron Company's works were located. This time, it was Lionel Pigot Johnson who left his mark. Amidst the tumultuous times of the Dublin State Trials, depicted in this engraving, Lord Pigot's name was once again brought to light. The martyrdom of William Wolsey and Robert Pigot at Ely in Cambridgeshire, as recorded in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, serves as a reminder of the trials and tribulations of this noble lineage.
