Rubenesque

In 1505 Henry VII, King of England, dispatched a team of envoys to Spain to examine the widowed Queen of Naples as a potential bride. She was wealthy but Henry wanted more. He wanted to know if "said woman's breasts were somewhat great and full." He ordered his ambassadors "to mark her breasts and paps, whether they be big or small, and to ascertain whether they be trussed somewhat high." Their report was that "the said Queen's breasts were great and full to satisfaction." Just like Jade's, it is said.
