Portrait: 2 This is the nearest to an authentic portrait of Gilles de Rais.
It is known as the Montfaucon portrait, from the name of a collector; the
picture is by Gilles le Bonnier.E.A.Vizetelly has pointed out that the
armorial bearings are those of Montmorency-Laval and not Rais, so there
is a possibility that this is really a representation of Guy de Montmorency-Laval,
Gilles's cousin.
