### the funerary monument of Ferenc Révay
In the funerary monument of Ferenc Révay in the Roman Catholic church of Túrócszentmárton (Martin, Slovakia), the deceased was not portrayed in armour but in a Hungarian ceremonial costume. There is an inscribed plaque under his feet; his coat of arms was placed by his right shoulder. Ferenc Révai was a royal judge, then the judge of the palatine, that is, he belonged to the inner circle if the court administration; still he did not choose the traditional type of tombstone for himself, with the representation of a knight in armour. The funerary monument of Imre Czobor, governor under the palatine (d. 1581), in Sasvár (Šaštín-Stráže, Slovakia), follows the same type. In the sixteenth century there was still an alternative for the tombstone representing an armoured knight; by the seventeenth, however, this type completely went out of fashion. MÁ
