her by the Parliament, that ?he had fomented the rebellion
in Ireland, and to the clause in their Remonstrance, which
required her “ to take a solemn oath not to give any counsel
or any mediation to the King concerning matters of religion
or the government of any of his dominions.”

This medal is cast and chased. The obverse is by Jean
Yarin, but the reverse, which is noticed in the Num. Chron. XY.
p. 105, has no connexion with Charles I., being a copy of the
reverse of a medal by Trezzo, of Ippolita Gonzaga, daughter of
Ferdinando, Count of Guastalla, who died in 1563. (See
Mazzuchelli, I. PI. lxx. 5.) This medal appears to have
belonged to Mr. Edward Pretty, of Maidstone: it is not known
where it is preserved. It is very probable that, like most of
Varin’s portrait medals, no reverse was ever executed by him
for this one.

Cast and chased, and with rings for suspension. Though this
medal bears the portrait of the King, it was probably executed
by order of the Parliament, whilst it affected to do everything
in the King’s name. The legend is in accordance with its
declaration of 19 May, 1642, when they call upon him to be
advised by the wisdom of both Houses of Parliament. These
pieces were engraved by Thomas Rawlins, and are generally
decorated with a wreath border, and loop for suspension.
