"The Hospitalier Maréchal Guillaume de Clermont defending the walls at the Siege of Acre, 1291, by The French painter Dominique Papety (1815–49). The painting forms part of the over 120 paintings in The Salle des Croisades in the Palace of Versailles. The rooms were created in the mid-19th century by king Louis-Philippe, and opened in 1843, at a time when France was seized with enthusiasm with its historical past, and especially the Crusades period."

Also takes a special kind of courage to walk over the carnage at the bottom of the ladder and make the ascent, doesn't it? |

Of course heroic courage are for both sides my friend. Amicalement Armand |

Yes, it'a a bow without doubt. What took my attention was the other guy who fall alone from the far side of the wall.(no stairs there) Maybe one Ottoman who managed to fight till there and then the Christians pushed him to the emptiness? Amicalement Armand |

Oh right. He has a quiver at his waist. Isn't that an odd weapon to go up a ladder with? |
