Hi How about Christine of Denmark? She was painted by Holbein. She had great influences in the politics of Europe.

First Qtr 16th century - was RE: [h-cost] New MCT Book was Update on Henry VIII book
I missed the original post, sorry if I repeat what was said earlier. Have you looked at Millia Davenport's book (s)? -The Book of Costume- I find it a good place to start when researching something new because it gives a decent regional overview in one place. You can pick it/them (it come in a two volume set often) second hand very reasonably. www.bookfinder.com Sg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of E House Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 5:48 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] New MCT Book was Update on Henry VIII book - Original Message - ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Because of this I'm presently immersed in Spanish early 16th Century as well as Holy Roman Empire and some French/Low Countries/Flemish. I got that way because I wanted to understand why Katheryne of Aragon (how she spelled it when she signed things) might have reacted the way she did. This means that I've been delving into Isabella and Ferdinand, Juana called The Mad, Charles V. All her family that shaped her. Then we go to Phillip, Mary of Burgundy, Margaret of Austria, Francis II, Henry II and Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medici, Bess of Hardwick (no too late!). Then there is the world of the Italians (Scwarey Stuff!) Halls Chronicles are available on-line at http://dewey.library.upenn.edu/sceti/printedbooksNew/index.cfm?TextID=halle; PagePosition=2 Go to the Henry VII and Henry VIII sections and look for names of non-English potentates. How about the Popes and the Medici? Several good books out about Lucretia Borgia and her clan as well as Isabella d'Este and the Sforzas. French: I just finished good books on Francis II, Catherine de Medici, and I'm looking for something on the Guises. The Cardinal's Hat : Money, Ambition, and Everyday Life in the Court of a Borgia Prince. Actually what is interesting is the young man's travel from Italy over the Alps to France and the stay and play in Francis' court. Can't help much when it comes to fiction, since I tend to find it a bit like candy. Love it occasionally, but not the meat and potatoes. If I'm going to buy a book it will be non-fiction. Fiction comes from the Library (unless it is Liadian Universe, then it comes mainline from the publisher :-) Wanda Pease ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
