Combat between Nicolas Clifford and a French Knight.
PLATE XVII.
COMBAT BETWEEN NICHOLAS CLIFFORD AND A FRENCH KNIGHT.
This Illumination has been selected as exhibiting the mode and ceremonial of a single combat, and though coarsely and somewhat carelessly executed, it portrays, with considerable graphic effect, the arrangements, and positions of the witnesses, judges, and combatants, on such occasions.
It is intended to represent the encounter between an English esquire, named Nicholas Clifford, and a French knight, the latter of whom was slain.
