"Banquet scene"
Rectangular stained glass window, in grisaille, silver yellow and cameo. Inside a palace opening on the outside by large bays. On the right we can see a child king sitting on a cathedra. He is crowned and holds a scepter in his left hand. He attends, a little far away, the banquet of his men. Six figures, including four soldiers wearing armor, sword, leg protectors. They are eating with their knives and drinking from cups. Outside we see a large house burning, the soldiery killing and looting.
