Description
Gothic; The Charlemagne WindowDelaporte no. 38, Deremble-Manhes no. 7Panel 9: Charlemagne looks at the Milky WayCharlemagne (crowned and haloed), sits on a throne at left, looking up at the Milky Way, which will guide him to the shrine of St. James at Compostela. To the right are two seated figures who also look up at the Milky Way, the one on the left gestures towards it. Delaporte identifies these as Charlemagne’s counselors. The figure in front has a beard and wears a skullcap- he resembles the figure in Panel 15 whom Lejeune and Stiennon identify as Turpin.Panels 8-21, depicting Charlemagne's Campaigns in Spain are based on the Historia Karoli Magni et Rotholandi, generally known as the Pseudo-Turpin because the text claims it was composed by Turpin, Archbishop of Reims, an eyewitness to the events narrated; see Meredith-Jones, Maines.; The Charlemagne Window
