The Bedford Master was responsible particularly for the miniatures introducing the life of the Virgin Mary in the Hours proper. One of his minatures give an indication of who the book of hours was created for. It depicts a lady who is probably Isabelle of Brittany, praying to St Margaret. At the end of the seventeenth century, the manuscript belonged to Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, and by the marriage of his granddaughter Clementina to James Stuart, the Old Pretender, it passed into the Jacobite family. James was the son of James II, the king who was deposed in 1688" (from the Royal Collection Trust website).
