EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Edward II, the controversial King of England from 1307 to 1327. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this engraving is a part of "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney. The portrait showcases Edward II holding an orb and sceptre, symbols of his sovereignty. Edward's reign was marked by his close relationship with Piers Gaveston, who joined the royal household in 1300. Their bond stirred controversy among the English nobility, leading to political unrest during Edward's rule. Despite being titled as Earl of Cornwall and Prince of Wales, Edward faced opposition that ultimately led to his deposition in January 1327. The intricate frame surrounding the portrait adds a decorative touch to this historical depiction. Samuel Wale's contribution to this artwork further enhances its significance as he played a vital role in illustrating English history during the eighteenth century. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness one man's journey through power struggles and personal relationships that shaped medieval England. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation, offering us a glimpse into an era filled with intrigue and turmoil.
