EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the early 1460s, Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of the late King Edward IV's brother, the Duke of Clarence, implores her former brother-in-law to reverse the attainder against her family. The attainder, a legal decree declaring someone a traitor and forfeiting their lands and titles, had been imposed on the Woodvilles following the death of the Duke of Clarence in the Tower of London in 1478, under suspicion of treason. Elizabeth, dressed in the rich robes of a queen, kneels before King Edward IV in a humble yet determined stance. Her hands are clasped in supplication, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear, hope, and resolve. Behind her, a loyal hound looks up at the king, its ears perked and eyes fixed on him, reflecting the unwavering loyalty of the Woodville family. King Edward IV, dressed in the regal attire of a medieval monarch, sits on a throne with a hunting scene depicted in the stained glass window behind him. The scene of the hunt, a common motif in royal portraits of the time, symbolizes the power and authority of the king. However, the encounter between Elizabeth and Edward IV is far from a casual meeting. The stakes are high, and the future of the Woodville family hangs in the balance. The image captures the tension and drama of the political landscape of the late 15th century, where power shifts and alliances were formed and broken with ease. Elizabeth's plea to King Edward IV is a poignant reminder of the vulnerability and resilience of women in the face of political upheaval. The use of a dog in the scene adds an emotional depth to the image, emphasizing the loyalty and devotion that bound families and factions together during this tumultuous period in English history.
