The seven bishops of England, who were put in the Tower by King James II in 1688, because they openly disapproved of his Declaration of Indulgence. In the center, the portrait of Archbishop William of Canterbury, surrounded by the portraits of William of St. Asaph, John of Chichester, Thomas of Peterborow, Jonathan of Bristol, Thomas of Bath and Wells and Francis of Ely. At the top two medallions: one shows an image of the Tower, the other an image of a scale with a sun and a moon.
