ca. 1448 - 'Graf Friedrich IV von Moers (+1448)', Kirche St. Pantaleon, Cologne, Germany

The effigy of count Friedrich IV of Moers (ca. 1380-1448), on the left, shows us a beautiful example of a Western German armour from the late 1440s, early 1450s.

Note the plackart (reinforcement of the kastenbrust breastplate) with flutings, similar to those on the tassets and pauldrons.
The besagews (rondels) on the armpits are identical to those on the couters.
The visored sallet is worn together with a bevor.

Friedrich also wears the knightly collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a title which was bestowed upon him by duke Philip the Good of Burgundy in Lille, Flanders, in 1431.

The effigy has undergone some restoration, i.e. the 'darker' parts.
His lower right arm and gauntlet, a small part on the left of the bottom fauld/tasset, his left poleyn, and parts of the greaves, are all later additions.

Friedrich's effigy is accompanied by that of his son, count Vincenz of Moers (+1499), depicted in a late 15th century gothic armour: www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/50498628301/in/album-72...
