1569 1628 Archbishop Churchman Montaigne Spelt
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: George Montaigne, English Churchman and Archbishop of York (1569-1628) George Montaigne, born in 1569, was a prominent English churchman and Archbishop of York during the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. This evocative portrait captures the wisdom and gravity of Montaigne as he gazes intently beyond the frame, his furrowed brow and serious expression reflecting the weight of responsibility that came with his ecclesiastical position. Montaigne's career in the Church began in earnest when he was appointed Dean of Durham in 1604. He later became Bishop of Chichester in 1605, and in 1616, he was elevated to the prestigious role of Archbishop of York – the second most senior position in the Church of England. Montaigne's tenure as Archbishop of York was marked by his unwavering commitment to the Church and his dedication to maintaining peace and order within his diocese. He was a staunch supporter of King James I and worked closely with the monarch to promote the interests of the Church and the crown. Despite his loyalty to the Church and the monarchy, Montaigne faced numerous challenges during his time as Archbishop. He was embroiled in a bitter dispute with the powerful Earl of Newcastle over the appointment of a new Dean of York, and he also had to navigate the complex political landscape of the early Jacobean period, which was marked by religious and political turmoil. Montaigne's legacy as Archbishop of York is one of dedication, perseverance, and a deep commitment to the Church and the welfare of his flock. This powerful portrait serves as a testament to his indomitable spirit and his enduring impact on English history. Date: 1610 - 1620 Source: Mary Evans Prints Online Image ID: 10058432
