• Description
• Gothic; The Charlemagne Window Delaporte no. 38, Deremble-Manhes no. 7Panel 5: Constantine greets Charlemagne at ConstantinopleCharlemagne (centre, identified as CAROLVS, no halo) is greeted by Constantine V (crowned, right) at Constantinople (crenellations, arched openings, a tower). Constantine has his arm around Charlemagne’s shoulders. To Charlemagne’s left is a bareheaded young man (Maines suggests this is Roland). Above is a cloud motif, a possible reference to the Milky Way (Maines).Delaporte notes that Charlemagne wears spurs, which he suggests signify his conquest of Jerusalem. Panels 2-7, depicting Charlemagne's Crusade to Jerusalem are most likely based on Descriptio qualiter Karolus Magnus clavum et coronam Domini a Constantinopoli Asquisgrani detulerit (see Maines).; The Charlemagne Window
