- Reason
- Noted picture of a remarkable and important woman. This more medieval style isn't something we see a lot at FPC- we have featured pictures of her great-grandchildren, but even they are noticably more modern. Very high quality reproduction, obvious EV.

- Support Interesting medieval portrait. Is it possible to get information on the crest and words at the top in the image's description? --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- The crest is her family crest (House_of_Beaufort). No idea about the phrase. While I'm here I may as well support it. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 10:51, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Borrowed from St John's College, Cambridge- "The College motto is souvent me souvient, supplied by Lady Margaret Beaufort, and written in Mediaeval French. It is inscribed over gates, lintels and within tympana throughout the college, functioning as a triple pun. It means 'I often remember', 'think of me often' and, when spoken (exploiting the homonym souvent me sous vient), 'I often pass beneath it' (referring to the inscriptions). The college shares its motto with Christ's College, Cambridge and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford". I seem to remember reading somewhere about her telling Henry to "think of me often".
