I just completed the painting of this 30 mm flat of the serie of famous English Knights:

  Drawing:    Martin Block
  Engraving: Werner Rieger
  Editor :      Schmalkaler infiguren
  Marking:    RM12

oïl painted.

3rd Earl of Salisbury and illigitimate son of Henry II Plantagenêt, king of England.
The coat of arms looks identical as the one attributed to his grandfather Geoffrey Plantagenêt.
   " azur, six lions rampants or, 3,2,1 "

Of course he was not allowed to wear the coat of arms of his father !
