Margaret (or Marguerite), countess of Flandre (1145~1194), on horseback with a falcon and the dwarf Turold handling two horses. "The Franks had bonnets similar to that worn by Margaret, countess of Flandre (103)." "Fig. 104 represents the dwarf Turold, envoy of William, Duke of Normandy. As in the first part of Monuments of the French Monarchy by Fr. Montfaucon" it is copied from the ancient tapestries mentioned before [the Bayeux tapestry]. He appears to have clothes under his suit. One notes that his culottes and hat have a singular shape." Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages" (1796).
