In 1845 reproductions of the panels were made from these drawings by the glass painter Pluys.\r\n\r\nIn 1913 they were owned by Grosvenor Thomas. He acquired them from Kilburn Grange which was erected after 1830. \r\n\r\nRackham, in a letter of 1921, says panels were previously in Kilburn Grange which had been pulled down 10 or 12 years ago [presumably meaning 1909 or 1911]. The family of Major Cecil Peters of Sunbury Manor, Sunbury in Middlesex, formerly owned Kilburn Grange.","historicalContext":"Mary was the daughter of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy (d.Jan. 1477) and his second wife Isabel of Bourbon (d.1465). She married Maximilian von Hapsburg, heir to the imperial throne in August 1477.\r\nThe impalements are reversed, Mary's arms are given precedent rather than Maximilian's. However the escutcheons of pretence are correctly placed.","briefDescription":"Clear and coloured glass with painted details and yellow (silver) stain.
