Bishops, priests and Spaniards
Reposting for my friend joane, who is working on her thesis...
"I'm making a hail-Mary play here... in David Loades' biography of Queen Mary I (England, 16th cen), he makes reference to woodcuts on pamphlets printed during her reign. These woodcuts supposedly depicted Mary as "a many-breasted queen suckling bishops, priests and Spaniards." He doesn't given any citations or indications as to what these primary sources were or where he found them. Is that ringing a bell for anyone? Does anyone know someone who might know what pamphlets he's referring to?"
Any help would be appreciated!
