Love’s Welcome at Bolsover

About the show

For Charles I and Henrietta Maria, a banquet masque at Bolsover Castle combines a song of welcome, a dance of craftsmen personified by Inigo Jones as Colonel Iniquo Vitruvius, and a second banquet brought from a cloud. Eros and Anteros, allegories of the King’s and Queen’s love, descend among the spectacle.
