  PLATE 1 Henry VIII as he approached the age of 55. A posthumous image by Cornelis Metsys, engraved at Antwerp in c.1548. The artist had fled to England after being exiled from Brabant in 1544.

  PLATE 2 Katherine Parr, Henry VIII’s sixth and last queen, aged about 33. By the artist known as ‘Master John’, c.1545.

  PLATE 3 Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset, Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, aged about 15. By Lucas Horenboute, c.1534.

  PLATE 4 An unknown man, said to be Sir Thomas Seymour, aged about 35. Attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, c.1543. In Edward VI’s reign, Seymour first scandalously flirted with Elizabeth, and then attempted to marry her.

  PLATE 5 Edward VI shortly after he became king in 1547, holding a leather purse in one hand and a red rose in the other. To the left of the painting among the roses and violets is a sunflower (the colour now faded), that instead of turning to the sun as heliotropic plants do, turns to the young king, who is eulogized in Italian and Latin texts below. Attributed to William Scrots.
