Belgian Bobbin Lace Border
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London houses a Belgian bobbin lace border that commemorates the accession to the throne of King Charles II of Spain ("the bewitched") in 1665 (aged three). The inscription reads: CA SECO REX HPA. At the time of Charles II's accession, the southern Netherlands (nowadays Belgium) still formed part of the Spanish empire.
