for Sir Geoffrey Luttrell (1276-1345); published in East Anglia; a mounted knight unseats a Saracen from his horse with a lance. A miniature of two splendidly adorned; or caparisoned knights jousting is depicted in the lower margin. They are generally believed to be Richard the Lionheart and Saladin; the famous leader of the Muslims during the Crusades. Although the main era of the Crusades was over by the time the Luttrell Psalter was made; the Saracens were still regarded as the enemy even though western learning and medicine was benefitting from contact with those of Islam.
