Effigy of Sir Bernard Brocas, in the chapel of St Edmund, Westminster Abbey, study for part of plate 144 of Stothard's 'The Monumental Effigies of Great Britain', published by Mrs Anna Eliza Bray, 1817-32
The recumbent effigy on his tomb, depicting him in full plate armour with a sword, seems to have been a later addition
The shield he carried has now gone. Around the ledge of the tomb on a brass strip is the original inscription, which can be translated: "Here lies Bernard Brocas, soldier, one-time Chamberlain to Queen Anne of England: upon whose soul may God look graciously. Amen".
His head rests on a helmet on which is his crest, a Moor's head. At his feet is a lion. The tomb was repaired in the 18th century and a long inscription in English was painted on it.

Sir Bernard Brocas
n the chapel of St Edmund in Westminster Abbey is the tomb of Sir Bernard Brocas (1330?-1395). His family originally came from Gascony in France, where they fought for the English cause. Brocas was a favourite knight of Edward the "Black Prince", son of Edward III, and was present at the battles of Poitiers and Crecy. He became chamberlain to Richard II's queen, Anne of Bohemia. He married first in about 1354 Agnes daughter of Sir Mauger Vavasour of Yorkshire, from whom he was divorced. Secondly in 1361 he married Mary daughter of Sir John des Roches. Both these ladies were heiresses. Sir Bernard was appointed Master of the Royal Buckhounds, an hereditary office held by his descendants for three centuries. Katharine, widow of Sir Hugh Tyrell, was his third wife in 1382.
Around the ledge of the tomb on a brass strip is the original inscription, which can be translated:
Here lies Bernard Brocas, soldier, one-time Chamberlain to Queen Anne of England: upon whose soul may God look graciously. Amen.
хотя многие статьи говорят, что это Bernard, который участвовал в заговоре, в статье сайта Westminster Abbey объясняется, что это надгробие его отца, также Bernard, только уважаемого и достойного представителя семьи Brocas (достойного памятника в Westminster Abbey), который и был chamberlain to Richard II's queen, Anne of Bohemia
