“Advice on Health and Diet' Jean Chabot, lord of Emæl and son of an alderman of Liège, is shown here wearing the Lancastrian livery collar of SS, a sign of Henry VII’s favour. The image depicts his presentation to the king of the very book that contains it – Aldobrandino of Siena's treatise on hygiene and diet. The choice of Chabot's gift was well researched. Henry and his mother, Margaret Beaufort, owned several texts on the preservation of health and seem to have been genuinely interested in that subject. Aldobrandino of Siena, Livre de physique (Régime du corps) Southern Netherlands, between 1494 and 1496 Presented to Henry VII Royal 19 A. v, f. 1v © The British Library Board”
