EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex (1541-1576), an accomplished soldier and statesman who played a significant role in Elizabethan Ireland. Essex's career was marked by his rivalry with the powerful Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who is widely believed to have had a hand in his untimely demise. Born into an old English noble family, Essex rose to prominence under Queen Elizabeth I, serving as her Master of the Horse and later becoming Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1572. During his tenure in Ireland, Essex implemented various reforms and successfully suppressed rebellions, earning the moniker "Ireland's Conqueror." Despite his successes, Essex's relationship with Leicester deteriorated, fueled by their competing interests and personal animosity. In 1575, Essex returned to England, leaving Ireland in the hands of his deputy, Sir Henry Sidney. However, his absence did not quell the tensions between him and Leicester. In 1576, Essex was summoned back to Ireland to deal with a rebellion led by James FitzMaurice, but he was intercepted en route and arrested on trumped-up charges. Essex was subsequently tried and executed, most likely on Leicester's orders. The exact cause of Essex's death remains a mystery, but poison is the most commonly accepted theory. This portrait, featuring Essex's autograph, is a poignant reminder of a tragic figure in Elizabethan history. The inscription, written in Essex's own hand, adds an intriguing layer to the image, further emphasizing the historical significance of this enigmatic figure.
