1470 1483 Blond Ermine Players Reigned Velvet Wavy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enigmatic and tragic figure of Edward V, the short-lived King of England who reigned from April to June in the year 1483. At just 12 years old at the time of his ascension to the throne, Edward's reign was overshadowed by the political machinations of his uncle, Richard III, who ultimately seized the crown for himself. Edward is depicted here in regal attire, wearing a velvet robe adorned with ermine trim and a golden crown resting atop his wavy, blond hair. The image captures the youthful innocence and vulnerability of the young king, juxtaposed with the weight of the crown and the responsibilities of ruling a kingdom. The date of the image is given as 17, with the year indicated as 150, suggesting that this may be a later representation of Edward V based on contemporary descriptions and depictions. However, the image remains a powerful reminder of the brief and tumultuous reign of this young monarch, whose story continues to fascinate historians and the public alike. Edward V's story is a complex and intriguing chapter in English history, marked by political intrigue, power struggles, and the tragic disappearance of the young king and his brother, the Princes in the Tower. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the human drama that lies at the heart of historical events, and the enduring power of the crown to shape the course of history.
