Antiqua Versus Nova

Today a lot of ‘celebrities’ will appear on Antiqua Versus Nova: kings and heroes from the very early middle ages, like the legendary Attila the Hun.
From more civilized times: Gaston III, called Fébus. From the time circa 1000: Ludwich (or Louis) III – grandson of Charlemagne. Charlemagne himself (see 1st picture).
But also songs about the high-spirited Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
