So it is Duke William, who raisers his Helmet while holding a wooden club?

Hi all, well do not know that bar, but many others :)

And yes the knight with the club is Odo, actually this is a small scene based on a drawing by Angus McBride.

PS More Normans to be announced soon :)

...and the drawing of Mc Bride based on a scene on the tapestry of Bayeux - William is lifting his helmet to show his face, and to show he's alive, because a fallen Norman Knight was confounded with the king. So he should sit upright on the horseback ...
