The text reads:
To all present and to come these letters seeing or hearing greetings from the soverigns of insulae draconis, Duncan and Constanza. For the love we bear our cousin mistress Johanna aff Hucka and for all she hath done we invite her into our order of ffraid. xxi*ix*liv.
I had had an entirely different design planned, but then I found a scroll I'd earlier done with this style of bordure and it reminded me of how much I love it, so I changed plans. (I had also forgotten how fiddly all that gilding is!).
I was a bit under pressure time-wise, so the scroll came along with me to Würzburg and I painted in my hotel room. Here's some inprogress photos!
