Antique costume print titled 'Pierre du Terrail, Seigneur de Bayard. 1517'. This print depicts Pierre Terrail, a French knight, generally known as the Chevalier de Bayard. Originates from a rare costume book titled 'Sammlung von Trachten bey verschiedenen ältern und neuern Völkern (..)'.
Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard (c. 1476 – 30 April 1524) was a French knight and military leader at the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, generally known as the Chevalier de Bayard. Throughout the centuries since his death, he has been known as "the knight without fear and beyond reproach" (le chevalier sans peur et sans reproche). He himself preferred the name given him by his contemporaries for his gaiety and kindness, "le bon chevalier" ("the good knight").
