his is the likeness of Godfroi de
Bouillon in the Museum of Toledo, Spain.
hile I have no doubt that the face
looks like Godfroi, I must wonder about the attire. I've been told by
Alessandra Ori that the double-barred cross is
known as the "Cross of Lorraine", a French symbol. It originates in (wait
for it!) Lorraine, the region of Rene d'Anjou, and is therefore a very important
feature. Used as the symbol of Free France during World War II, it must have
carried some meaning even way back in the 13th century.
