REBLOGGED FROM A MEDIEVAL POTPOURRI @ sparkypus.com Could these images in Coldridge Church be of the same man?

Elizabeth Woodville left sanctuary with her daughters on March 1, 1484, after Richard III swore a public oath that she and her daughters would be unharmed and that he would find the girls suitable matches.
