"Regicide: A Chronicle of Royal Bloodshed and Betrayal" In the annals of history, the specter looms large, a haunting reminder of mankind's capacity for treachery and power struggles. From the Cromwells' Family to the assassination attempt on the Shah of Persia, these chilling moments have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. One such scene frozen in time is "Interceding for the Life of Charles I, " an oil on canvas masterpiece that captures a pivotal moment during England's tumultuous Civil War. The fate of King Charles I hangs in balance as his family pleads for mercy amidst political turmoil. Centuries earlier, "The Murder of Henry IV" unfolds before our eyes through a captivating illustration from c. 1900. This heinous act shattered France's stability and sent shockwaves throughout Europe, forever altering its course. Another dark chapter etched into history is depicted in an engraving titled "Death of William Rufus. " In 1100, this mysterious event cast suspicion over those who sought power at any cost within England's royal court. Across the English Channel, we witness "The Martyrdom of Louis XVI, " captured vividly in an engraving from 1798. The French Revolution unleashed chaos and ultimately led to this tragic end for a king caught between tradition and change. Turning back time further still brings us face to face with Kenneth and Fenella in their fateful meeting illustrated by Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation litho from c. 1920. Their encounter foreshadows betrayal that would shape Scotland's destiny forevermore. Traveling eastward, we delve into Russia's turbulent past with Vasily Shuysky leading Muscovites in killing Tsar False Dmitry I—a brutal regicidal act immortalized through an evocative engraving from 1606.
