Re: Document: 1322 Earl of Hereford
Effigies and Brasses has two different effigies attributed to the 4th Earl of Hereford.
This seems to be the most likely candidate to be the correct one.

An image, likely of the 6th Earl of Hereford, appears in Oxford Christ Church MS 92, fo.60v from 1326-1327, though the arms are reversed.
