Elizabethan Prints (1558–1603)

King Richard III (EL101)
Artist: Unknown artist
Dated: : late 16th century
Period: Elizabethan

Ref: EL101

Brother of Edward IV. The ruthless extinction of all those who opposed him and the alleged murders of his nephews made his rule very unpopular. In 1485 Henry Richmond, descendant of John of Gaunt, father of Henry IV, landed in west Wales, gathering forces as he marched into England. At the Battle of Bosworth Field in Leicestershire he defeated and killed Richard in what was to be the last important battle in the Wars of the Roses. Archaeological investigations at a car park in Leicester during 2012 revealed a skeleton which was thought to have been that of Richard III, and this was confirmed on the 4th February 2013. His body was re-interred at Leicester Cathedral on 22nd March 2015.

Lady Jane Grey (EL105)
Artist: Unknown artist
Dated: c1590-1600
Period: Elizabethan

Ref: EL105

Tragic Lady Jane Grey is remembered in British history as the monarch with the shortest reign… just nine days. Lady Jane Grey was the eldest daughter of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk and she was the great-grand-daughter of Henry VII. She was proclaimed Queen after the death of her cousin, the protestant King Edward VI, son of Henry VIII. She was actually fifth in line to the throne, but was his personal choice as she was a Protestant. Lady Jane was beautiful and intelligent. She studied Latin, Greek and Hebrew and was fluent in French and Italian. However the country rose in favour of the direct and true royal line, and the Council proclaimed Mary queen some nine days later. Unfortunately for Lady Jane, her advisors were grossly incompetent, and her father was partly responsible for her untimely execution as he was involved in an attempted rebellion.

The Spanish Armada was decisively defeated in 1588 and Raleigh’s first Virginian colony was founded. The execution of Mary Queen of Scots marred what was a glorious time in English history. Shakespeare was also at the height of his popularity. Elizabeth never married.
