Fascinating imagery - thanks! I work on Saladin's dynasty (the Ayyubids) in my research but have never seen these!
My pleasure, hope they're useful! :) There are definitely others out there too, seems to have been fairly popular :)
.@caitlinrgreen as I know, Saladin & Richard I, never met face to face in reality; very good that they put them in separate pictures.
.@caitlinrgreen Richard I negotiated with Saladin's brother& knighted 1 of his sons,& there was marriage negotiation between the 2 families.
beautiful work
