“The brothers [John and Robert Dudley] took psalms from the Old Testament and transformed them into poetry, expressing at the same time their own feelings and desires, which for the most part bent upon divine revenge. ‘Give ear unto me my God,’ John wrote, ‘and hear my mourning voice/break down the wicked swarming flocks that at my fall rejoice.’ He ended with a vengeful prayer: 'I appeal to thee that will when fit time is/ Discharge my fraught breast of woe and pour in heaps of bliss/And send consuming plagues for their deserts most due/ That thirst so sore my guiltless blood their tyrants hands imbue.’ His younger brother infused his poem with an even greater desire for revenge: 'Oh mighty Lord to whom all vengeance doth belong,’ Robert wrote, 'and just revenge for their deserts which do oppress by wrong.’ He issued a warning to all that had harmed him: 'But yet in time beware you forward bloody band/ What things against the Lord your God you seek to take in hand,’ for 'sure the Lord my God mine aid and only strength/ Will them reward and sharply scourge with endless pain at length.’”

— The House of Dudley, Dr Joanne Paul (via fideidefenswhore)

Elizabeth of York, fashion character design, c. 1472-1473.

The fleur-de-lys on the dress make me think of the moment when Elizabeth was engaged to Charles, the Dauphin of France.
