This beautifully detailed incised slab was probably made for count Henri V of Salm, who died around 1336-1341. Another possibility is that it depicts Henri VI, who died around 1354-1360.
Since the armour can be stylistically dated around 1330 to 1340, I believe it's very plausible to associate the effigy with Henri V.
The armour is quite German in style, still relying highly on mail, Luxemburg being influenced by the French as well as the German styles.
Note the mail standard, the typical three-quarter mail sleeves over a gambeson, rondels on the elbows, decorated poleyns on the mail chausses, the recurrent salmons of Salm on the surcoat and shield, and the great helms (with a wrapper?) with a crest of two salmons and a women's head.
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, ALASKA -- Soldiers from the 4th Quartermaster Detachment (Airborne) plot azimuths to their assigned points during land navigation training at Training Area 7B, JBER-Richardson, on July 26. Land navigation training instills confidence in the Soldier’s ability to understand the fundamentals of military map reading, combining the use of compass orientation, terrain association, and pace count techniques to navigate while dismounted.

Stitch purchased 4.200 rockets, to be launched at midnight, as efficiently and with as little effort as possible. My recommendation was to bunch it up into a big pile, pour gasoline over it and light the lot. They didn't listen to me (I wonder why), but the result was rather spectacular nonetheless.

This was a cereal that I loved to eat when I was a child. The idea of a chocolate breakfast was thrilling to me (what kid wouldn't find it thrilling), but I also had a strange attraction to this monster-that-wasn't-a-monster. This was probably because Instead of drinking blood, this vampire ate cereal and provided children with toys and prizes.
"In late 1971 General Mills began production of the Count, along with his pal FrankenBerry , to compete with other character -Monster Cereals were a hit, combining a very tastey cereal with in-box prizes and a dominating character presence on both tv and in the aisle. The following year Boo Berry was introduced, completing the unholy circle" (http://www.peteglover.com/chocula.html).
Looking back, I wonder what made a cereal sponsored by monsters--particularly the vampire--so appealing to me as a young child. I guess it was the accessibility of the cartoon-monster. Instead of fangs--this vampire has two buck teeth. Instead of wanting to drink my blood, this vampire wants to give me chocolate and provides cereal boxes with toys in them.
Even though the Count isn't a traditional vampire, I guess there is an element of seduction involved in eating his chocolate cereal--it's decadent and rich and calls for some kind of ritual (at least it does for me). And I wasn't the only one who bought into this advertising scheme--as the cartoon character (characterization) of the vampire was a huge hit.
"If you somehow missed a childhood full of sugar and television; Count Chocula is a vampire into chocolate rather than blood. Both his design and voice reflect Bela Lugosi" (http://www.peteglover.com/chocula.html). If you visit this website, you can see the numerous "makeovers" that the count underwent from the 1980's-2001. It's interesting to see how he started off resembling Bela Lugosi and ended up an infantalized cartoon character who looks more like a Harry Potter House-Elf than he does a vampire.
It would be interesting to do a historical study during the years that the Count was "evolving." What was going on during this time in America that warranted these changes? For instance, why in the 1980's was there an upset over whether the Count was "too Jewish looking?" Why was it so important that the count continue to undergo transformations in order to become more "digestible"--no pun intended?
Possible Trajectories: New definition of Vampire, blood-be-gone (the vampire vice translated to something more "digestible," ethnicity (and explorations of ethnic anxieties), kid-friendly monsters, a-sexual vampire seduction.
These portraits of Iseppo and his wife Livia hung in the palazzo that the couple built in the northern Italian city of Vicenza. Veronese painted them as though they are actually standing in the palace.
