Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas (1372-1424), played a significant role in the Hundred Years' War, notably supporting France against England. Granted the title Duke of Touraine by Charles VII of France, Douglas fought in several key battles, including the Battle of Baugé in 1421. His military prowess earned him great respect, but he was killed at the Battle of Verneuil in 1424. He was buried in the choir at St Gatien cathedral in Tours.
We've never seen his burial marker, even though we've looked a couple of times. That's why we assume it's under the carpet.
