An illuminated text dealing with the denial of Christ by St Peter and an illumination of The Arrest of Christ by Simon Bening (c. 1525-30). Held by the Getty Center.

Part of a plea roll, an official document recording lawsuits or actions in court. Mary I is pictured inside the initial ‘P’ because the document begins with the Latin words: ‘Placita coram domino rege’ (pleas before the lord King). Mary became Queen of England on the death of her brother Edward VI. Her image suggests that her position was legitimised by God and shows her defeat of the Duke of Northumberland who tried to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne instead. (Catalogue ref: KB 27/1168/2) Michaelmas, 1553, Coram Rege Rolls.
