Franks & Saracens in the painted windows in the monastery church of St Denis (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plates.htm)

The windows in the monastery church of St Denis were destroyed during the French Revolution, but, copies were published in Les Monuments de la Monarchie Françoise in 1729.
There are 10 windows on 5 plates:
Plate 50 Nicaea (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plate-50-Vol-1.htm)
Plate 51 Antioch (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plate-51-Vol-1.htm)
Plate 52 Jerusalem (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plate-52-Vol-1.htm)
Plate 53 Ascalon (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plate-53-Vol-1.htm)
Plate 54 Ascalon continued (http://warfare.atwebpages.com/Franks/St_Denis-Plate-54-Vol-1.htm)
with text in the original French and an English translation.
