These rubbings are the Earl and Countess of Essex, Henry and Isabel Bourchier c. 1483. They are buried in Little Easton, Essex, Great Britain. Henry Bourchier was the first Earl of Essex to bear the title. He is wearing the robes of the Garter over Lancastrian armor. His head rests upon a great helm, which is surmounted by the crest of a Saracern's head. At his feet is an eagle, which had been a crest of the family from the time of Richard II. Isabel was the Aunt of Edward IV and the daughter of the Earl of Cambridge. She is dressed in a purple mantle over a scarlet kirtle faced with ermine. Her hair is gathered into a reticulated caul and her head rests upon a flowered cushion supported by angels. Both she and her husband wear collars of suns and roses.
Each rubbing measures approximately 15 by 38 inches and will arrive ready for mounting and framing.
