Today's featured article for October 30, 2024
The tomb of Philippe Pot is a life-sized funerary monument commissioned by the military leader and diplomat Philippe Pot. Pot was a godson of Philip the Good and became a knight of the Golden Fleece; he later served the French king, Louis XI, who appointed him grand seneschal of Burgundy, and Louis' son Charles VIII. His effigy shows him recumbent on a slab, his hands raised in prayer, wearing armour and a heraldic tunic. Pot commissioned the tomb when he was around 52 years old, some 13 years before his death in 1493. The inscriptions written on the sides of the slab emphasise his achievements and social standing. The tomb is made of limestone, paint, gold and lead. Although its sculptor is unrecorded, art historians generally cite Antoine Le Moiturier as the most likely designer. The monument was stolen during the French Revolution; since 1899 it has been in the Louvre, where it is on permanent display. The tomb underwent a major restoration between 2016 and 2018.

1470 - Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick, restored Henry VI to the British throne during the Wars of the Roses.

It should say English throne - there was no Britain in 1470. SoLando (Talk) 03:24, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. -- PFHLai 07:24, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
