About the Item

An engraved portrait of Henry IV, King of England. Henry IV was the first English monarch from the Lancastrian branch of the Plantagenets and came to power after deposing his cousin Richard II in 1399. His reign was marked by the start of the 15-year civil strife known as the Wars of the Roses, numerous rebellions, and efforts to consolidate his power and legitimize his somewhat tenuous claim to the throne. The text mentions that the portrait is based on a picture at Hampton Court, which is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Published as the act directs on June 18th, 1787, this engraving is part of the collection for "Harrington's Edition of Rapin's History of England." Henry IV's reign is notable for the rebellion led by the famous knight Henry Percy, known as Harry Hotspur, and the ongoing struggle with the Welsh leader Owain Glyndŵr. His health declined in his later years, and he died in 1413, succeeded by his son Henry V.
