Created by an anonymous English artist during the 15th century, this artwork showcases the Founders Charter upon Act of Parliament on March 16th, 1446. Intricately illuminated by William Abel, the image depicts a scene where Lords and Commons petition Henry VI while he fervently prays for his college. The patron saints, Virgin Mary and St Nicholas, stand beside him as symbols of divine protection. This religious context is further emphasized by references to St Edward the Confessor and St Edward the Martyr. The composition exudes regality as we observe figures kneeling before Henry VI who wears a crown symbolizing his royal status.
