EDITORS COMMENTS
Stephen of Blois: The Regal Splendor of the Angevin Dynasty's Forgotten King This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic presence of King Stephen of England (1135-1154), a monarch whose reign was marked by political instability and power struggles. Known as Stephen, King of England, or Stephen, Count of Blois, he reigned during a pivotal period in British history, a time when the Angevin Empire, which included England, Normandy, and Anjou, was at its zenith. In this exquisitely detailed print from Mary Evans Picture Library, King Stephen is depicted in a regal profile, wearing a richly embroidered cloak adorned with intricate patterns and jewels. The crown atop his head, a symbol of his divine right to rule, is bedecked with precious gems, adding to the opulence of the image. The blue background enhances the contrast and creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer's gaze to the king's intense, focused expression. Stephen's reign, which began in 1135 following the death of his cousin, King Henry I, was marked by civil war and the struggle for the succession. Despite these challenges, Stephen is remembered for his efforts to maintain peace and order in his realm, as well as his patronage of the arts and architecture. This portrait, with its striking visual representation of the king's power and majesty, serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Stephen's reign ended in 1154 with his defeat at the Battle of Wallingford, leading to the accession of his rival, Empress Matilda's son, Henry II. This print invites us to delve deeper into the complex history of the Angevin Empire and the enigmatic figure of King Stephen, a monarch whose story continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
