In the castle of Ravel, located in Auvergne, exists an aula decorated with a long fresco featuring the arms of various princes and local nobles.
Pierre Flotte (d.1302), councillor of Philippe IV le Bel, received the castle as a gift from the king in 1294.
The dating of these frescs are still in debate. It is most probable that Pierre Flote ordered them around 1300-1301, but his death on 11/07/1302 was premature to see them finished. The shield of Louis de France, as king of Navarre, seems a good candidate to date them after his mother's death in 1305. But his seal before that date already shows the mi-parti France-Navarra. A better candidate seems Othon comte de Bourgogne who is also present. He died 1303. This allows us to date the realization of those wall paintings between 1300 and 1303.
