Guillaume Tirel (1360)

The brass is perhaps later, because the person died after 1380

Speculation is, that his first wife, showing more old-fashioned clothing, and perhaps he himself was created earliers, when she died, and the second wife (right side) was added after her death.

And I get a databse or phyton error if I add comments too large in size ;) You should look into that. I had to split up the comment in two.

Jens, thank you for the additional information on this monument. I have added a new image (I believe a rubbing) and updated the quality of the first image in the row. Quite interesting to learn that Guillaume was a well-known chef. I do wonder about the correct date for the monument, though. His armour really suggests to me mid-14th century.

I also have fixed the comment size issue.

In 1967 I dined with my parents in a restaurant in Paris named Taillevent. Its logo showed a stylized drawing of a man dressed as an old-fashioned cook cutting the wind with a large carving knife. I think the nickname (literally "cut wind") referred to his skill with a carving knife.
