A woodcut with six panels illustrating scenes of the poisoning of King John by a monk of Swineshead Abbey (not Swinstead, an error also in Shakespeare's 'King John'). The story tells that John was a threat to the abbey. A Brother Simon went to Abbot William and was granted absolution before giving the king a cup poison obtained from a toad. Because John's taster was not available, Simon drank from the cup first but returned to his cell before dying. The king fell ill and died at Newark Castle. From John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, told as an illustration of the treachery of the Catholic church.
BM 1953,0411.74, a cutting of two panels of this print, ''a 16th-century edition''.
