"Yorkist: A Tale of Power, Betrayal, and Redemption" In the tumultuous era of medieval England, the Yorkists emerged as a formidable force in their quest for the crown. The offer of kingship to Richard, Duke of Gloucester at Baynards Castle on that fateful day in June 1483 marked a turning point in history. As captured by a vivid color lithograph, this pivotal moment showcased the hopes and aspirations placed upon Richard's shoulders. But the struggle for power was not without its tragedies. Queen Margaret, with her paper crown in hand, symbolized both defiance and despair as she bestowed it upon the young Duke of York during uncertain times around 1450-1460. The engraving by Brown evoked an air of mystery surrounding this event from centuries past. The Battle of Tewkesbury brought forth another twist in fate when Queen Margaret herself became a prisoner. Depicted through vibrant colors on lithographic paper, her capture echoed the shifting tides that favored the Yorkists under King Edward IV's reign. Yet amidst these triumphs and tribulations lay heart-wrenching tales such as Lord Clifford's merciless murder of young Edmund, Earl of Rutland after Wakefield's battle in 1460. Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held immortalized this tragic event through their poignant engravings featured in Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk. However, not all was lost for those loyal to House York. Lambert Simnel found himself working diligently within royal kitchens - an unexpected turn that would eventually lead him down a path towards destiny or downfall. Richard III loomed large over England during his controversial reign; his image etched into engravings capturing both admiration and disdain alike. His complex character painted shades beyond black or white - forever leaving historians pondering his true intentions. Coats-of-arms depicting Henry VII alongside Elizabeth of York revealed unity forged through marriage between two rival houses.
