@oldbookillustrations Does the book identify this knight of late carrying a shield with 3 chevrons?

@ClaireFromClare @medievodons @histodons No, and I believe it's not supposed to be anyone in particular. The picture is meant to illustrate the attire, and my guess is the chevrons are merely a fancy decorative addition. https://archive.org/details/dictionnairerai05violuoft/page/289/mode/1up
