Elizabeth of York ('Elyzabeth the Quene', I think)


Henry VII (and you're right Helen, it does look like his son's)

Yes, all original spellings. As for 'Queen' that's just how it was sometimes spelt back then. You see, they had no set way of spelling things then, so people tended to write things phonedtically, or just how they liked. The replacment of 'i' with 'y' seemed to be popular - Elizabeth/Elyzabeth and Richmond/Rychmond.

Wow! They're amazing! I only wonder how much time they took for signing something...
