The Coronation of Edward II, 1308 - A Glimpse into British Royalty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in British history - the coronation of Edward II in 1308. Illustrated by Richard Caton Woodville II and featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation circa 1920, this lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of medieval royal ceremonies. Edward II, King of England from 1284 to approximately 1327, takes center stage as he is crowned amidst an array of distinguished guests. The image showcases the intricate details of his regal attire and majestic crown, symbolizing his authority over Great Britain. Surrounding him are influential figures such as Queen Isabella, barons, and members of the Angevin Plantagenet dynasty. The composition exudes a sense of power and prestige as Edward sits enthroned on a magnificent seat while being attended to by loyal subjects. This visual representation also hints at political tensions during that era with references to Piers Gaveston, Edward's controversial favorite. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It invites us to reflect upon the rich heritage that shaped modern-day England while reminding us how monarchy has played an integral role in shaping British identity throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' archives, we are transported back in time to witness one
