Footnotes

The second battle of Guinegate, or Battle of the Spurs, was an episode of the early 16th century wars (August, 16th 1513), when Henry VIII and the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I surprised and routed a body of French knights under Jacques de la Palice. The Flemish artist represented the victory as one of the main scenes for the imperial grave of Emperor Maximilian I, the sketches for which were made by the well known German sculptor, painter and architect Albrecht Dürer.
