The Crusades (Middle Ages)

 What's happen there ?  We are back in the middle of the medieval period! This is what happens when the Middle Ages are confronted with my crazy imagination! Funny knights, original fighting techniques and lots of laughs!
 Crusaders and Muslims are engaged in a merciless crusade! How strange are these fights ! You maybe never imagine anymone may fight like that !
Men climbing a ladder too small for the fortifications... A man who flies in the air because of a too powerful bird... Warriors charging the drawbridge with a giant snail... And what else?
The defense is organized, one fights until in front of the attacked castle (while Jerusalem tries in vain to call for help!). The enemy sometimes takes the form of a strange man with a tree head! There is also the frightening mustachioed man who stuns all those who look at him.
Inside the castle too, the defense is tough! One man breaks his sword when he takes it out of the scabbard, another takes his spear to do a pole vault... Not to mention the desperate man who has no weapons left and throws his elephant into the void!
In the middle of a crusade! An army of crusading knights is on its way to conquer a castle.

In addition to the richness of the scenes, there are many historical references. Can you find them?
- The spear that pierced Christ is said to have been found during the Siege of Antioch;
- The knight Godefroy de Bouillon (with a very French joke) who delivered Jerusalem during the first crusade and reigned there;
- The legate Pelagius, whose intransigence led him to fail in the reconquest of Jerusalem. His army fled in disarray as Saracen enemies came up the Nile to overtake them.

This drawing is my most ambitious project! Do you like it? Don't you think it would be great as a puzzle to put together?
