### tapestry
A textile covering the walls and the openings of buildings (but there were tapestries made from leather as well). The most representative tapestries were woven. Examples of this type survive in large numbers from the fifteenth century on, and they were made in France and Flanders. From the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, many tapestries were documented in Hungary as well (both King Zsigmond and Mátyás had tapestries). Miklós Oláh, who stayed in the Low Countries in the company of Queen Mary until 1542, gave orders in his will concerning some tapestries decorated with his own coat of arms (he certainly commissioned these after his return to Hungary, since they carry his coat of arms as Bishop of Eger). Other prelates and aristocrats also owned tapestries. Ferenc Frangepán, Archbishop of Kalocsa, included in his will of 1543 a series of seven tapestries representing the story of "The Beautiful Melusina," and another one of twelve depicting the story of "The Prodigal Son."
