In your research, have you encountered anything to indicate the use
of henna for hair in sixteenth-century France or England? [I have
read your article about the attempted ban on it as a 'Moorish'
practice in Spain under the Inquisition.] Many of the female
portraits seem to me to suggest it, as did the popularity of red hair
to emulate Elizabeth I. Later, of course, there are all those Titians
from Italy. TIA, Katherine
