- Barbara of Cilli was known for organizing gatherings of many young women in her castle when her husband was out of town (the King Sigismund, that is). According to some, these were lesbian orgies. She even got the nickname "Black Queen" for it.
- Her crown matches the VMS Libra crown on the female's head.
- She owned the castle in which Jabous of Tepenecz lived later on.
For me these are definitely real human beings.
Unfortunately this appears to be historical fiction linked to the future pope who hated her family....

Would that fall under specific real human women or generic real human women?

I hadn't seen this poll, so I voted now. Naturally, like most people. It's about symbolic figures representing something. I have no doubt about what these figures represent. I've said it many times in my thread, and it's unnecessary to repeat it here.
All I ask of the forum members is that they consider that the personification of objects or abstractions is common in the medieval way of representing things. Knowing what the female figures in Quire 13 represent would be extremely difficult if it weren't for the fact that we see those figures previously depicted holding stars in zodiac signs.
