Paul IV. (Caraifa) was elected Pope, 23 May, 1555.
This medal, also of Italian work, occurs in most collections
of papal medals. It was struck in order to intimate to England
that, if she did not submit to the demands of the Pontiff,
she would incur greater sufferings than she had yet undergone.

This and similar medals are well executed, cast, generally
chased, and in high relief.
The marriage of Philip and Mary was celebrated at Winchester
25 July, 1554, and as Philip had completed his 28th
year on the 21st of May, 1555, this medal must have been
executed between the 1st of January and the 21st of May,
1555. It is probable that this and other medals bearing
similar busts of Mary were executed from an authentic portrait
of that Princess, supplied by Philip himself. Jacopo Trezzo
of Milan was much employed by him, both in medals and gem-
engraving, but there is no reason to believe that he was ever in
England.
