| Wilhelm von Bibra |
In 1487 Lorenz wrote a letter of introduction to Pope Innocent VIII for his
half brother Wilhelm who was being sent to the Vatican as emissary of
Archbishop Herman of Cologne. In 1490, Wilhelm became ill when
returning from Rome as an emissary of Kaiser Friedrich. Wilhelm's tomb
stone is still to be seen in the Pelligrini Chapel of the Saint Anastasia
Church in Verona.

Note the engraving on the left
from the Family History has
the armor somewhat golden
with highlights such as the hilt
of the sword in gold leaf. This
is because Wilhelm was made
a knight of the Golden Spur
which entitled him to have
golden spurs and/or gold gilt
armor.
In the painting on the right,
the painter, Wolfgang von
Bibra, apparently didn't pick
up on the significance of the
color of the armor but did give
him golden spurs.
