Thank you, 'Nando, for putting this right!

Of course these tapestries were woven in one of the famos Tournai workshops, like many others which today are preserved in museums. For at least as late as the 1540's (Charles V), those martial topics were transferred to pictorial tapestries - posters and advertising pillars had not yet been invented!

Best,
Michl
