King Edward I threatens the Lord Marshal, 1297 (1864)
King Edward I threatens the Lord Marshal, 1297 (1864). Humphrey de Bohun (1276-1322), Earl of Hereford, Lord High Constable, and Roger Bigod (1245-1306), Earl of Norfolk, Lord Marshal of England, confront Edward I (1239-1305). They had drawn up a series of complaints known as the Remonstrances, objecting to Edwards right to demand military service and the levels of taxation he was imposing. The confrontation threatened to plunge the kingdom into civil war, but both sides reunited against the threat from Scotland after the kings army was defeated by William Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge

King Edward I Confronts the Lord Marshal, 1297 - A Tense Power Struggle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1864, we witness a historic moment of intense confrontation between King Edward I and two powerful noblemen, Humphrey de Bohun and Roger Bigod. The image captures the heated exchange that occurred in 1297 when these influential figures presented their grievances against the king's authority. The Remonstrances, a series of complaints drafted by Bohun and Bigod, challenged Edward's right to demand military service and his excessive taxation policies. This clash threatened to plunge the kingdom into civil war as tensions reached boiling point. However, fate had other plans for England. Just prior to this standoff, William Wallace led a victorious Scottish army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge against Edward's forces. Faced with this external threat from Scotland, both sides set aside their differences and united against a common enemy. This photograph freezes an important moment in history—a snapshot of power dynamics during medieval times. The anger is palpable on all faces; fingers are pointed accusingly as each party defends their position fiercely. Captured through lithography by James William Edmund Doyle in stunning color detail, this image transports us back to the heart of political turmoil in 13th-century Britain. It serves as a reminder that even amidst internal strife and disagreement among rulers and subjects alike, unity can be found when faced with external challenges threatening our very existence.
