I'm confused by the portrait attached to this article - should there at least be a note that this is not a contemporary portrait of Isabella of Valois? or is it a portrait of a *different* Isabella of Valois? the clothing and the dates don't match.

[edit] Portrait of Isabella of Valois

The portrait is definitely NOT of Isabella of Valois. As you point out, the costume is not of the period - it's 16th century. I think the portrait is actually of Elisabeth de Valois (1545-1568), daughter of Henry II of France. She was the third wife of Phillip II of Spain.
