Life of St Julian the Hospitaller stained glass

Julian and his fellow knights march into battle during the crusades. Julian rides a white horse, his feet in stirrups, and his banner indicates that he is now a feudal lord. Section of Julian on a crusade with comrades, 1215-25, from the Life of St Julian the Hospitaller window in the chapel of St Julian in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Most of its windows date from 1205-40 although a few earlier 12th century examples are also intact. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen
