Portraits of Elizabeth I Tudor
I first thought that this was a wrongly named engraving of the Melton Constable or Hastings Portrait of Katherine Parr, due to the prominent pattern of the fabric of the dress, and the maturity of the lady's features, but it is of course a wrongly named engraving of the portrait of Elizabeth I when a Princess attributed to William Scrots.

I think the Tau cross that they are wearing could be linked to the(knights) order of St Anthony, Mary 1st collar looks like it may represent the knotted girdle/waist cord of st Anthony .
