EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Stafford clearing himselfe" captures a pivotal moment in history when treachery and conspiracy were brought to light. Created by Friedrich van Hulsen in 1627, it illustrates an event from George Carleton's book "A Thankfull Remembrance of Gods Mercy". In the scene depicted, we witness William Stafford, a courtier during the Elizabethan era, standing before the Privy Council alongside Guillaume de l'Aubespine, Baron de Chateauneuf - a French ambassador. The two men had been engaged in a sinister plot to poison Queen Elizabeth I. To the right of the image, Chateauneuf is seen boarding a ship as he prepares to flee England after their nefarious scheme was uncovered. Meanwhile, Stafford stands resolute and determined to clear his name. The illustration encapsulates both tension and intrigue as these plotters are confronted with their treasonous actions. It serves as a reminder that even those within trusted circles can harbor dangerous intentions. Ultimately, justice prevailed as Stafford successfully defended himself against accusations of poisoning Queen Elizabeth I. However, this incident led to his exile from courtly life. This print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an invaluable historical document shedding light on one of England's most notorious plots and its dramatic aftermath.
