This ring, one of only two containing a lock of Byron's hair (the other of different design, from the Hone collection mentioned above), was possibly gifted by Augusta Leigh (half-sister to Lord Byron) to Reverend Francis Hodgson, an assistant master at Eton and close friend of Lord Byron upon Byron's death. A ring matching this description and mentioning a lock of hair was sold at Christie's in January 1899 by a Mrs Hodgson, selling to a J. Ward. The present ring was rediscovered and sold in the UK in 2013, and has been subsequently kept in a private collection. Lots 1603 - 1608: A private collection of early jewellery.
An important George III mourning brooch for King Edward IV, circa 1789, the glazed brooch of oblong outline in hair work and sepia, depicting a tomb with an urn and crown flanked with the initials ER, inscribed EDWARD IIII REX DIED 9 APRL 1483, to a fluted gold border and plain reverse, measuring 3.0 x 1.7cm This Georgian mourning brooch commemorates King Edward IV (1442-1483). Edward was a central figure in the Wars of the Roses, a brutal conflict between Yorkist and Lancastrian cadet branches of the Plantagenet dynasty that overwhelmed medieval England. Edward was the son of Richard, Duke of York, and inherited the Yorkist claim to the throne upon his father's death in 1460 at the Battle of Wakefield. After defeating the forces of the Lancastrian Henry VI, he became Edward IV in 1461. His controversial marriage to Elizabeth Woodville set him at odds with his advisors, most notably the Earl of Warwick, and he was deposed in 1470, in favour of the king he deposed, Henry VI. Fleeing and gathering his strength in Flanders, he invaded the next year, and was re-crowned in 1471, reigning for twelve years before dying in 1483. His young son and heir Edward V became one of the vanished, presumed murdered 'Princes in the Tower', and the throne was seized by Richard III. During renovations of St George's Chapel, Windsor (which Edward IV had extensively remodelled during his reign), his coffin was accidentally opened while being moved. Some of his hair was found to be preserved, and was used to make mourning jewellery. Locks of Edward IV's hair are in possession of the Society of Antiquaries and the Wellcome Collection, London, and a related mourning ring was sold at Christie's, 11th October 1995, lot 24 Lots 1603 - 1608: A private collection of early jewellery.
