@WurstbrotOfSteel : From one of the tapestries named "The Lady and the Unicorn" (French: La Dame à la licorne). This is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries woven in Flanders of wool and silk, from designs ("cartoons") drawn in Paris in the late fifteenth century.
Search the web if you want more pictures of these tapestries.
Not according to the "family tree", Bondel means blond and many of our ancestors were "fair haired and blue eyed". The story we have passed down was that he went troughout Europe raising money for the Ransom, not looking for him. He came back from the Crusades with him and was apparently with him when he was thrown into the dungeon. At least one castle was at the "junction of the Saone and Rhone Rivers south of Lyon."
Mightyzebra: Jean 'Blondel' de Nesle wasn't a minstrel/jongleur, but an aristocratic trouvère (song-writer). You're thinking of the 13C legend from the 'Récit du Ménéstral de Reims', which depicts 'Blondel' finding Richard I. It's a fictional invention.
This is such a flowing, captivating song, if this really was by Blondel the Minstrel then I can understand why he was so popular! :D Can you provied more information on the picture? I'm interested in who would have stitched him in a tapestry like that and why. ;)
what is the name of the picture and where did you found it?
