Late Gothic chest. 
A Cardinal is depicted in the middle. 
Next to it are two different noble coats of arms. 
And on the outside are two fleur de lis ornaments. 

Dated between 1400 and 1600, the last Gothic period. 
The asymmetric two-passes only appear later in the Gothic period. 

Because we see two fleur de lis ornaments here, I assume that this is a French Cardinal. 
Usually the Cardinals came from the Nobility, the coat of arms on the right must be of him and his family, the coat of arms on the left has a bar. 
A bar through the coat of arms indicates the termination of this noble line. 
Which is always the case because (officially) a priest has no descendants.

Hinches and lock are later. No key. 
Restaurations.
