Portraits from the Recueil d’Arras, a 16th century collection of images of royalty and other famous personages, attributed to Jacques Le Boucq
1. Henry VII of England
2. Elizabeth of York, Queen of England (This one exists only as an imprint of the original drawing left on the opposite page, so I enhanced it a bit to make it more visible)
3. James IV of Scotland
4. Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland
5. Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, brother of Henry V of England
6. Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy
7. Margaret Stewart, Dauphine of France (Incorrectly labeled as Charlotte of Savoy)
8. James (I or II) of Scotland (Labeled only as “James, King of Scots”)
9. Mary I of England (Labeled as Elizabeth I, but I think it’s Mary because I’ve only ever seen that triangle hood on her)
10. Elizabeth I of England
