Jean de la Grange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean de la Grange[1] (died 1402) was a French Benedictine Cardinal[2]. He was both an adviser to Charles V of France and an important member of the papal curia at Avignon, at the time of the Western Schism.
He was bishop of Amiens 1373-5[3]. He is noted for two tombs; the one in Amiens cathedral, is a monument, in fact being technically only funerary statuary, therefore[4][5]. La Grange is depicted on the Beau Pilier d'Amiens[6]. The tomb in Avignon includes an early example of a transi (cadaver).[7]
