Charlemagne Shield
This beautifully decorated shield is fabricated in steel and features embossed fleur de lis mounted on a satin steel finish. It is equipped with chain hangers and brackets for attaching one or two swords to the back of the shield.
The stories of Charlemagne's exploits assumed the proportions of the fantastic. He provided an ideal base on which to build enthusiasm for the Crusades. While no one thought of going on a Crusade until centuries after his death, his figure as both a man of God, glorified, and in some churches honored as a saint--he was thought to have been in communication with the angels and the direct instrument of God's will on earth--and fierce a warrior as any made his image an excellent symbol for the spirit of the Crusades.
The Charlemange shield measures 31-1/2 inches in height, 18 inches wide and weighs approx 10 lbs. The price of shipping is included.
