A damaged 12th-century Tournai marble tomb-slab built into the crossing tower of Trondheim Cathedral (Trøndelag, Norway) was probably carved in the same workshop responsible for a tomb-slab from the Premonstratensian abbey of St-Josse-au-Bois (later Dommartin) now in the west porch of the parish church at Tortefontaine (Pas-de-Calais, France). No documentary evidence indicates who commissioned these tomb-slabs, but possible candidates may be identified. The historical contexts of these tomb-slabs show that they were carved at a time when important developments in trade and ecclesiastical links were taking place in Flanders, England and Norway
