<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7964029, member: 110504"]Here's something fun, which I probably posted before:</p><p><a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/27619" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/27619" rel="nofollow">https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/27619</a></p><p>Pierre Mauclerc, whose coat of arms triangulates perfectly with the pommel, provenance and attendant chronology (none of his immediate family went on crusade), participated both in the 'Barons' Crusade,' c. 1239-1241, and the first one of Louis IX, c. 1248-1253. Since the 'Barons' Crusade' was consistently directed at Palestine, while Pierre was wounded in Egypt during the initial phase of Louis' subsequent one (dying at sea on the way home), it's an easy guess that the sword pommel is from his adventures on the prior one of the two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
