SC - Myths -- Taillevent

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

hey all from Anne-Marie (hiya Thorvald! :))

re: was Taillevent a knight?

could the misunderstanding/misattribution be as simple as the fact that his
tomb portrays him with his famous cookingpot arms, and so we assume that he
was knighted since he certainly wasnt born to those? (ie the modern
assumption that to have arms you must be noble...I dont even know for sure
that thats true for the 14th century...why couldnt anyone with sufficient
sous make any tomb decorations they wanted? its not like they had a College
of Arms, right?)

just wondering,
