EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King Richard II preventing the duel between the Dukes of Hereford and Norfolk, 1398" transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The scene depicts King Richard II intervening to halt a potentially deadly clash between two powerful noblemen, the Dukes of Hereford and Norfolk. Set against a backdrop of medieval architecture, we witness the tension and anticipation as these armored figures prepare for combat. Their intricate suits of armor gleam in the sunlight, showcasing both their wealth and martial prowess. Surrounding them are soldiers from various branches of the armed forces – navy soldiers alongside traditional army troops – highlighting the diverse nature of military power during this era. The presence of female soldiers among their ranks is particularly noteworthy, challenging conventional notions about gender roles in warfare. This detail serves as a reminder that women played significant roles throughout history, even if they were often overlooked or forgotten. Created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, this engraving captures not only a specific historical event but also provides insight into broader themes such as chivalry, political intrigue, and royal authority. It is part of Mrs Trimmer's "A Series of Prints on English History" which aimed to educate readers about key moments from England's past. Through its meticulous details and evocative composition, this print invites us to reflect upon an important turning point in British history while marveling at its artistic beauty.
