The mourners on the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy in Dijon.
During the late Middle Ages, the dukes of Burgundy of the House of Valois were the leading rulers in Northern Europe. The fabulous tombs of Philip the Bold (1342-1404) and his son John the Fearless (1371-1419) bear witness to their enormous wealth.
