Katherine of Valois, queen of King Henry V of England. Steel engraving by Francis Holl after a portrait by A. Bouvier from Mary Howitt's Biographical Sketches of The Queens of England, Virtue, London, 1868.
A short biography from Wikipedia on Catherine as follows:
“Was the queen consort of England from 1420 until 1422. A daughter of Charles VI of France, she married Henry V of England, and gave birth to his heir Henry VI of England. Catherine's marriage was part of a plan to eventually place Henry V on the throne of France, and perhaps end what is now known as the Hundred Years' War, but although her son Henry VI was later crowned in Paris this ultimately failed.”
“After Henry V's death, Catherine's later marriage with Owen Tudor proved the springboard of the Tudor family's fortunes, eventually leading to their grandson's elevation as Henry VII of England. Catherine's older sister Isabella was queen of England from 1396 until 1399, as the child bride of Richard II.”
