Jacques de Vitry’s embroidered English mitre is one of only three surviving episcopal mitres which portray the martyrdom of St Thomas of Canterbury, and which, moreover, are characterised by the inclusion of unexpected details in the depiction of the murder in the cathedral: Becket’s close-fitting cap, both segments of Richard Brito’s broken sword and Becket’s ‘crown’, the piece of bone severed in Brito’s assault. This study traces the emergence of these details in religious art of various kinds and sets the images on Jacques de Vitry’s mitre and its two companions in the general development of Becket iconography across Europe.

雅克·德·维特里（Jacques de Vitry）绣有英文的斜接器，是描绘坎特伯雷圣托马斯the难的三个幸存主教手套之一，而且其特点是在大教堂的谋杀描述中包括了意想不到的细节：理查德·布里托（Richard Brito）折断的剑和贝克特（Becket）的“皇冠”（这是在布里托的袭击中被割断的那块骨头）的一部分。这项研究追踪了各种宗教艺术中这些细节的出现，并将图像描绘在雅克·德·维特里（Jacques de Vitry）的斜角及其两位同伴在整个欧洲Becket肖像画的总体发展中。
