The 1906 caption reads: "Otto pardoning brother Henry in Frankfort Cathedral [in later 900s AD] Otto the Great, after crushing the rebellion of his brother Thankmar, found his younger brother Henry also plotting against him. Henry fled, but one Christmas day while the choir were singing “Peace on Earth,” he came as a stranger and knelt at Otto’s feet in the cathedral at Frankfort. Otto forgave him, and thereafter Henry remained his faithful ally."
