EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Archie Armstrong, also known as Archie, the renowned Scottish court jester, entertaining King James I and later King Charles I of England and Scotland. Born in Scotland, Archie rose to prominence in the royal courts during the early 17th century, enjoying the favor and influence of the monarchs. His exceptional wit and comedic talents brought joy and laughter to the royal family and their guests. Archie's influence extended beyond mere entertainment, as he was known to have political clout. However, his power reached its peak until 1637 when he was unceremoniously dismissed from the court. The reason for his dismissal was an insult directed towards Archbishop Laud, a powerful figure in the English church, who took offense to Archie's words. Despite the circumstances of his departure, Archie's legacy as a skilled jester lived on. This print, dated 1672, captures a moment in time when Archie, with his traditional jester's cap and bells, brought merriment and amusement to the royal court. The image serves as a reminder of the important role jesters played in the history of entertainment and their influence on the political landscape of the time.
