Johan and Arnott de Parfondrieu, Fremalle Grande, 1413. A much injured, but once very fine slab, in memory of two brothers germaD, of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the white cross of which appears upon their breasts, while the Hand of God, again surmounting the head of each, bestows His benediction

We cannot pass over the admirable figures of Johan aad Arnolt de Parfondrieu, 1400 and 1413, Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Each wears a standard of mail, and has a short sleeveless surcote bearing the white cross flory of the Order on the left breast.

Surviving now only as a rubbing taken by Creeny in c.1890, a Belgian slab of 1413 in the church of Flemalle Grande, Liege, showed two brothers, both senior Hospitallers, side by side under separate canopies joined by a common pillar. Several aspects of the armour of Sir Jehan and Sir Arnout de Parfondrieu parallel those of the Foveran pair or John de Galychtly: They are shown as almost identical, each is bareheaded and wearing a mail collar, has small spaulders with an outer upper cannon strapped round a mail sleeve, articulated couters with heart-shaped wings and hinged tubular lower cannons. The body armour is concealed under a surcoat which just reveals plate cuisses articulating with simple bulbous poleyns and in turn with hinged and buckled greaves (oddly one knight has the hinges on the inside of the legs, the other has buckles on the inside). Each has laminated sabatons and rowel spurs, and is girt with a normal-size tapering-blade sword with straight quillons with tips angled towards the blade and a scent-stopper pommel.
