I have that on a poster at home, in case anyone wonders what's happening in it, it's called "Valdemar Atterdag brandskattar Visby", which details a Danish king invading Gotland and "fire-taxing"(literal translation of brandskatt, a kind of plundering) the people of Visby.

Thank ! I seen the title on wikipedia but I don't found it in english. It's very hard to find another art of this artist with good resolution.

Les auteurs de BD des années 70 pourront te dire que c'était la question qui leur était le plus demandée :) Donc je pense que c'était sans doute pareil dans les siècles antérieures ^^
