An illumination from a 14th Century CE manuscript of the "Grandes Chroniques de France", depicting a battle between John I of England (r. 1199 - 1216 CE) and Philip II of France (r. 1180 - 1223 CE). Both kings are recognizable by their coats of arms; Philip II is identified by three pale gold fleur-de-lis on a blue field, while John wears three pale gold lions on a red field.
Made in Paris, France c. 1332 - 1350 CE. By Mahiet (active c. 1320 - 1350 CE) and the Master of the Cambrai Missal (active c. late 1330s CE). British Library, London.
