Eustace of Saint Pierre
Eustace of Saint Pierre is most known of the Six middle-class men of Calais, which went, " out of shirt and the cord with the cou" , near the king of England Edouard III, to beseech the grace of the inhabitants of Calais (August 1347).
According to the chronicler Jean Froissart, the king made them thanks to the request of his wife, Philippa de Hainaut.
The scene of the rendering of the middle-class men of Calais was immortalisée by a bronze of Rodin which one can see on the place of the Belfry with Calais and with the glyptothèque of Copenhagen (Denmark).
