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.

I would like to ask is it possible that the effigy is from 1360. The breastplate looks to me as if it is made later. It looks, to me, like it is corracia. Administrator told that armor looks like it is from the mid-14th century. Is it, maybe, some form of coat of plates? I like the shape of the effigy armor very much, and it would be very precious to me if we can say that such form of armor existed in mid-14th century, I always thought that it is more 1375, or later. Thank you very much!
