Sure do!! Yay!!

Found online some bits of one source I was thinking to look up - at least for Hungary and Poland's 1450s. THIS Now, this Polish style would have applied to Moldova somewhat. Wallachia would have also had some substantial touch of Ottoman fashion with a doze of Hungary, Italy (fabrics and embroidery) etc. over the local base and with a doze of infatuation with Byzantium... I mean, VD's Moldovan cousin saw themselves like this (& detail) in a votive image dedicating a church. Much as his successor, Radu the Handsome did. In fact, that is the only type of portrait they sought to ever have... And that is one reason why I may know better what the Tudor court might have looked like than these folks close to home
