Lady Eleanor Brandon, Countess of Cumberland (1519 - 1547)As the granddaughter of King Henry VII and niece of King Henry VIII, Lady Eleanor was once in line for the throne.This portrait, painted by Hans Ewer in the 1560s has created debate as to whether the woman depicted is in fact Lady Margaret, Eleanor’s daughter. It was painted long after Eleanor’s death, yet the coat of arms in the corner is her own, leading to much speculation.England, 16th Century. -- source link
