The curious triptych figured in Plate XV. appears to have been, in the first instance, a gift from Philippe le Beau and Jeanne la Folle, parents of the children therein represented, to King Henry VII., to commemorate a visit which they unexpectedly paid to this country at the beginning of 1505.
The triptych has been ascertained, by means of a brief entry in an inventory taken for Henry VIII. of goods and furniture deposited in his Palace of Westminster, to have been royal property in 1542. It is there denominated “a folding table,” and occurs at the end of a long series of royal portraits.

The arms above the two sisters are the same, with the omission of the label, and each occupies the sinister side of a lozenge party per pale, the dexter side in each case being left blank.

page 252 note c Old London, pp. 288, 335. The above description is literally copied from the Harleian Manuscript. Bathoe, p. 119, no. 58, has not merely changed the punctuation, but altered the word Primo into Prince. He has also inserted measurements which do not appear at all in the original MS. There can be little doubt that this description is intended for the same picture as lo. 16 of the Westminster catalogue. Some obvious errors in the 1639 catalogue will hereafter be noticed. In the present instance, the Emperor Frederick would be Frederick IV., husband of Leonora of Portugal, and father of Maximilian, thus shifting the names one generation back, and leaving one to infer that the third “picture” or portrait, would be Philippe le Beau instead of Charles V.
