Crusader Knights on a Cressac Fresco

A larger image of Crusader Knights on a Fresco, Cressac, France, 12th-century.

Detail from the damaged wall-painting in the church at Cressac, France, which shows 12th-century crusader knights going into battle. The painting probably represents the Franks' victorious battle against Nur ed-Din in 1163.

Frescoes from the Templars' church at Cressac-sur-Charente in France, showing fighting men. Those on the upper level date from the 12th century. They have crosses on their surcoats and may be Templars, although their shields do not carry the Templars' black and white arms but show various designs.

The famous but very damaged wall-painting at Cressac is unusual in illustrating specifically Crusader knights. French 12th century. The scene is believed to illustrate their defeat of Nur al-Din in the Buqaia valley in 1163. A 19th-century reproduction of this section of the wall-painting, made before it suffered further damage, shows that the little figure apparently seated behind one of the knight's shields, was playing a stringed instrument. Perhaps he represented the musicians who also accompanied some Crusader armies into battle. (in situ Protestant church, Cressac, France. David Nicolle photograph)
