EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed and beautifully hand-colored map, titled "The Invasions of England and Ireland With al [sic] their Civill [sic] Wars since the Conquest," is a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex history of the British Isles. Created by the renowned cartographer John Speed in 1627, this map was sculpted by Cornelis Danckerts and published by George Humble. The map meticulously depicts the locations of various battles, invasions, and naval engagements that have shaped the history of England and Ireland since the Norman Conquest of 1066. The invasions and wars represented on this map include the Anarchy, or the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), which saw the House of Lancaster and the House of York vying for the English throne, and the Spanish Armada (1586-1588), a failed invasion of England by the Spanish fleet. The map also highlights significant battles such as the Battle of Hastings (1066), where William the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson to claim the English throne, and the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485), where Henry Tudor defeated Richard III to become Henry VII and establish the Tudor dynasty. This map is a testament to the rich and complex history of the British Isles, providing a visual representation of the various conflicts and invasions that have shaped the region's political and cultural landscape. The intricate detail and beautiful hand-coloring make this a stunning addition to any historical collection.
