 Most of the tapestries, however, were commissioned by king Sigismund II Augustus in Brussels in the workshops of Willem and Jan de Kempeneer, Jan van Tieghem and Nicolas Leyniers between 1550-1565.Initially, there were about 170 tapestries in the royal collection, among them 84 black-and-white tapestries with the royal crest and the letters "SA", 8 tapestries which Sigismund I the Old had been received from the Emperor Maximilian I, and others, gifts from foreign delegations.The gifts include one tapestry with the Polish eagle bearing the date 1560, the royal initials and the letters "CKCH" (Christophorus Krupski Capitaneus Horodlo) next to the Korczak coat of arms and the inscription "SCABELLVM PEDVM TVORVM" (the footstool under your feet, from Psalm 110 (A Psalm of David)), a gift from Krzysztof Krupski, starost of Horodło for Sigismund Augustus.
