Henry and I finally departed Louis’s court in January. Marguerite kissed me warmly upon our departure and presented me with a stunning gift—a bowl wrought into the semblance of a peacock, with coloured gems in green and blue to match the hues in the feathers of the actual bird. The eyes were made from pearls, and more sprays of pearls augmented the rim of the bowl.

But my sister’s leaving gift paled beside Louis’. The French king, for all his piety, could still on occasion be extravagant.

He sent us neither jewels nor plate.

Louis sent us a live elephant for the Tower menagerie.

The only elephant west of the Alps!
