Saracen encampment and knights in battle, leaving their camp, fresco, late 12th century, in the Templar Chapel at the Commanderie de Cressac or Commanderie du Dognon, at Le Temple, in Cressac-Saint-Genis, Charente, France. The chapel was built 1150-60 by the Templars on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route and was originally part of a commandery, providing funds to support the Knights Hospitallers in the crusades in the Holy Land. The chapel is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
