The crown resigned to the Popes legate by King John (1167-1216), 1213
The crown resigned to the Popes legate by King John (1167-1216), 1213. Following a dispute between King John and Pope Innocent III regarding Johns insistence on his sole right to elect a new Archbishop of Canterbury (following the death of Hubert Walter in 1205), John was excommunicated in 1209 and, in 1213, Innocent threatened stronger measures unless John submitted. The papal terms for submission were accepted in the presence of the papal legate Pandulph in May 1213. In addition, John offered to surrender the Kingdom of England to God and the Saints Peter and Paul for a feudal service of 1000 marks annually, 700 for England and 300 for Ireland. With this submission, John gained the valuable support of his papal overlord in his new dispute with the English barons. Engraved for Cowleys History of England

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Crown Resigned: A Symbol of Submission and Power Shifts in Medieval England. This print captures a pivotal moment in history when King John, the controversial monarch of England, relinquished his crown to the Pope's legate in 1213. The image showcases the intricate engraving that depicts this significant event from Cowley's History of England. The context behind this dramatic scene reveals a clash between King John and Pope Innocent III over ecclesiastical authority. Excommunicated by the Pope in 1209 due to his defiance regarding the appointment of an Archbishop, John faced severe consequences unless he submitted to papal demands. In May 1213, with Papal Legate Pandulph as witness, King John accepted the terms set forth by Innocent III. In an unprecedented move, King John offered not only his submission but also surrendered the Kingdom of England itself to God and Saints Peter and Paul for an annual feudal service payment. This strategic maneuver aimed at gaining support against rebellious English barons who challenged his rule. This black-and-white monochrome print evokes a sense of solemnity and introspection as it highlights both resignation and religious symbolism. It serves as a powerful reminder that even mighty kings were subject to higher authorities during medieval times.
