Extremely Victorian drawing style! and apparently from a Victorian era children's history book. A couple really look like bull's horns, and my subconscious eventually popped the "minotaur" connection! That's all I've been able to come up with so far. Oh, the book appears to be: Mistress of the monarchy : the life of Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster / Alison Weir. My Public Library's copy is out, or I'd look it up in the text...
