Franks & Saracens in the painted windows in the monastery church of St Denis

The windows in the monastery church of St Denis were destroyed during the French Revolution, but, copies were published in Les Monuments de la Monarchie Françoise in 1729.
There are 10 windows on 5 plates:
Plate 50 Nicaea
Plate 51 Antioch
Plate 52 Jerusalem
Plate 53 Ascalon
Plate 54 Ascalon continued
with text in the original French and an English translation.

Ian Heath based 4 drawings of Syrian cavalry and a drawing of a Sudanese Spearman on these.
