EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment from the 10th century, depicting the intense dispute between King Edwy and Archbishop Dunstan. The image showcases the dramatic scene where Dunstan forcefully drags Edwy away from his wife, Elgiva, as they stand outside in an unknown location. The engraving, created around 1890 by an unknown artist featured in "Cassells Illustrated History of England" portrays the clash between duty and personal desires. King Edwy's reign began in 955 but was marred by disagreements with Archbishops Dunstan following a banquet during his coronation at Kingston upon Thames. In this snapshot of history, we witness the power struggle unfold before our eyes. The determined figure of Dunstan pulls on Edwy's arm while Elgiva watches helplessly nearby. The tension is palpable as these influential individuals clash over matters of religion and governance. This image not only offers a glimpse into British history but also explores themes such as duty, disagreement, and family dynamics. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power are subject to external forces that can shape their destiny. As we delve into this intriguing piece captured over a century ago, it sparks curiosity about the events leading up to this momentous encounter and leaves us pondering its lasting impact on English monarchy and society.
