EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "P. Revolt / Henry Ford II (Richard II, mounted on his horse, confronts the rebels)," transports us back to the tumultuous year of 1381, during one of the most significant moments in English history. The image captures King Richard II of England, depicted here as Henry Ford II, boldly confronting the rebels during the Peasants' Revolt. The rebellion, fueled by widespread discontent among the working classes, erupted in May 1381, with the peasants demanding an end to serfdom, the abolition of tithes, and the removal of unjust taxes. King Richard, who had recently imposed a poll tax on his subjects, was seen as the primary instigator of their suffering. In this print, Richard II, dressed in regal attire and mounted on a powerful horse, faces the rebellious crowd with unwavering determination. Armed rebels, some brandishing flags and banners, surround him, their expressions a mix of defiance and fear. The tension between the monarch and the people is palpable, as the outcome of this confrontation could change the course of English history. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the famous quote, "When I lived in your hearts, you did me like a god; I in my power, you are in my contempt," which Richard reportedly shouted to the rebels during this encounter. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between monarchs and their subjects, and the power dynamics that have shaped the course of history. This print, with its intricate details and rich historical context, is a must-have for anyone interested in medieval history, English history, or the evolution of power structures throughout the ages.
