    I have a question:
    you say: "ordered by HENRY VIII FROM Peter Coecke," but Peter works for Henry, is "FROM" right here?

    Yes, assuming that Peter Coecke provided the tapestry in response to the king's order, the correct grammar is "to order something from someone". So the "something" came FROM the "someone". While the order went TO Peter Coecke, the tapestry came FROM him.
