Charlemagne stained glass window, Chartres cathedral, France

Constantine, Emperor of the East at Constantinople, is concerned about the rise of Islam, and dreams about the strength of Charlemagne, seen here on the right on horseback, with a white helmet, spear and red shield. An angel points at Charlemagne. Section of the dream of Constantine, from the Charlemagne window, early 13th century, in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Most of its windows date from 1205-40 although a few earlier 12th century examples are also intact. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen
