Margaret of York was the sister of two English kings, Edward IV and Richard III, and the wife of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. During her marriage, Margaret was a patron of illuminated manuscripts, mainly copies of French translations from Latin originals and compilations of French vernacular treatises. The only two translations she commissioned, Benois seront les misericordieux and Le Dyalogue de la duchesse de Bourgogne à Jésus Christ, form a two-volume guide on the “mixed life” of public charity and private devotion. Together, the two manuscripts contain three iconographically unusual illuminated portraits of Margaret. The original Latin texts have Carthusian provenance, so Margaret’s manuscripts represent her dissemination of religious works beyond their earliest contexts. Furthermore, Margaret’s appearance in two presentation scenes underscores her role as a patron. The first is in her copy of La consolation de philosophie by Boethius, which she commissioned from the scribe David Aubert, and the second is an engraving in a printed copy of William Caxton’s The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye; Caxton credits Margaret with correcting his translation and offering encouragement. Both images depict Margaret accompanied by her retinue as she accepts her gifts, highlighting the role of patron as part of her public image.
