The Legend of Guilhem of Orange probably showing the worthy opponents, Saracen Prince Aragon and Count Bertrand, a nephew of Guilhem, in battle.
Guilhem, a relative of Charlemagne, was a celebrated soldier and adventurer. His legend purports that the city of Orange in France had fallen under Muslim control (a historical inaccuracy) and that Guilhem was determined to retake it.
