Description
Gothic; The Charlemagne Window Delaporte no. 38, Deremble-Manhes no. 7Panel 7: Charlemagne gives relics to his chapel at Aix (Aachen)Charlemagne (crowned, no halo, identified as CAROLVS) kneels, offering a reliquary at an altar with clergy standing behind. Above the altar are three reliquaries (see Panel 6.) A young man stands behind Charlemagne (Maines suggests this is Roland and notes that the Oliphant- a curved horn often associated with Roland is hanging behind Charlemagne). To the right of the altar, two tonsured figures stand looking at Charlemagne. The one nearest the altar wears a brown habit, and carries a crosier and a book.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
