Pourpoint de Charles de Blois / Charles de Blois’ doublet

@credits

It is one of the rare civilian costume that survived from the end of the Middle Ages, probably thanks to its “relics” status. According to the tradition the doublet was honored in the Église des Carmes in Angers where it remained until the Revolution, and belonged to Charles de Blois, who claimed the duchy of Brittany and died at the battle of Auray in 1364 - he was considered as a Saint. But there’s no evidence to prove it.
