England - York Minster, Dead Guy in an Alcove #2

This guy is not reposing in the usual sleeping position like the others, but rather inclined in a pose much as the Romans might look around the table of a feast.  Still at rest, perfectly relaxed.  I don't know much about Catholic tradition but find the hats of the higher-ups to be interesting, and noticed that the top-most carving is identical to what's on this fellow's head.  And the cane behind him on the wall doesn't look like a walking cane, so suppose it to be what he walked with or carried as part of some ceremony during life.
