The tiles from Prague Castle comprise a number of tiles depicting rulers. Placed in the center of the composition but without any heraldic decoration (unlike, for example, Ludwig and Maria), these tiles depict the latters’ successors on the throne, Ferdinand Habsburg and Anna Jagiello, one of the coupled married in the Habsburg-Jagiello double wedding of 1515.
