Thomas de Cormont explained

Thomas de Cormont (born towards the end of the twelfth century) was a French Gothic Era master-mason and architect who worked on the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Amiens following the death of its chief architect, Robert de Luzarches.^[1] There is speculation that Thomas may have been Robert's disciple.^[2]
