I wonder if he was a bishop in the pointy hat? His face is so worn that although he looks like a chubby schoolboy now, he may have had the gravitas of a respected man once.
Here’s his brother, or maybe not; they gaze across the doorway of St Mary’s Church in Bridgwater Somerset. Is he winking at his brother, or leering, or has he just got an unfortunate face. Maybe he’s scheming the other’s downfall, maybe they are not brothers but rivals, maybe not bishops but lords who seek the King’s favour?
