Légende
Richard I (1157-1199). King of England. After conquering the castle of Chalus-Chabrol in the Limousin region of France, on 25 March 1199 he was hit by an arrow that wounded him in the left shoulder while he was checking the perimeter of the castle without wearing chain mail. He died of his wound on 6 April. Chalus is depicted in the centre of the Limousin plateau; the artist took the liberty of including a seaport there. Engraving from ""Chroniques de Normandie"", 14th century. ""Vie Militaire et Religieuse au Moyen Age et a l'Epoque de la Renaissance"". Paris, 1877.
