The tomb of the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral who died in 1376, an impressive memorial, full armour typical of the period and intricately sculped. Son of Edward III and heir to the throne he died before his father and never made the top spot. Edward of Woodstock (Duke of Cornwall) was however well regarded by his English contemporaries as one of the greatest knights of his age, winning some pretty famous battles like Crecy, Calais and Poitiers during the Hundred Year's War with France, sounds like he was a pretty handy bloke.
