Sobre una posible identificación del donante en la portada de Ujué

Abstract

A relationship is drawn between the doorway of Ujué and Robert le Coq, Bishop of Calahorra and royal counsellor to Carlos II between 1362 and 1373. Although tradition has always identified the kneeling figure praying before the Epiphany with the monarch, the important role played by Robert in favour of the king during the first stage of the Hundred Years’ War, a role which he then went on to continue in the Navarran court, the donation of large sums of money and the representation of a cock, his emblem, next to the figure of the donor permits a hypothesis which suggests that the person represented is not in fact the monarch, but Robert.
