Grisaille Panel
These glass panels may have originally decorated one of the chapels of the Château de Bouvreuil, which was built by King Philip Augustus (r. 1179-1223) and expanded by his grandson Louis IX (r. 1226-70). The castles in the window's border are devices of the kingdom of Castile and indicate Louis's claim to the Spanish throne through his mother, Blanche of Castile. The top panels in each lancet are modern.
