Referenced as 106. German Knight, Walther Bopfingen d.1359 in Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 2 by Ian Heath:
Also, his shield is bouched, ie, it has a notch called a bouché cut into it in which the couched lance was rested during a charge. Such bouched shields seems to have actually originated in Germany, an almost identical one to that carried here being depicted in one effigy (that of Otto von Orlamünde) as early as c. 1340.
