THE SWEETEST ORANGE FROM NAVARRE, LUCREZIA DE VIDAURE

NOTE: No surviving portraits or sketches survive time, but as a lady-in-waiting from a family once owning a County with orange fields aplenty, it wouldn’t have been the norm for Lucrezia to have any formal sitting. Nonetheless, her whereabouts was mentioned in turn alongside Queen Alexandrina of France and the rest of the Aragonese royal household.
