ILLUSTRATIONS

Charles the bold, duke of Burgundy Frontispiece From Ms. statute book of the Order of the Golden Fleece at Vienna.  The artist is unknown.  Date of the codex is between 1518 and 1565.  This portrait is possibly redrawn from that attributed to Roger van der Weyden.  That, however, shows a much stronger face.
