7. Holy women, saintly models: St Anne (with a young Virgin Mary), St Katherine, St Margaret, and St Barbara, from Elizabeth’s Alphonso Psalter.
8. King Arthur and Queen Guinevere at court in Camelot, from a manuscript of Lancelot du Lac owned by Elizabeth’s family.
9. Contemporary image of an ideal medieval noblewoman: Uta, Margravine of Meissen, at Naumburg Cathedral.
