Manuscript illustration depicting Robert Fitzhamon and his wife Sibilia Montgomery, holding a small model of Tewksbury Abbey. They are wearing early 16th century garb - he is dressed in armour and holding a sword, and she is wearing a red gown and an English gable hood

Manuscript illustration depicting Isabel Despenser, Countess of Warwick, on her deathbed. She is lying down in a bed with a green canopy above her. She is wearing a brown dress and a black English gable hood. Beside the bed, a monk kneels and holds out a Bible to her.
