Surely, that is correct: gules, a fess argent. No matter how blue in looks. It's Austria. There is always the potential that some pigments are probably more prone to discoloration over time. The light gray, just above, might have been a better choice.
A gold lion on black, if that is a valid interpretation, might refer to the Elector Palatine. Looking for more info on Rudolf I of Pfalz to confirm his heraldic insignia.
In the image itself, three other shields with patterns pop up along the right hand side. There is a horseman's shield with a silver eagle on red. A potential match here could be the 'House of Ivrea', with early connections to Burgundy. No confirmation of someone being in Jerusalem - not much info found with relevant details. Or could it be Frankfurt, does that insignia go back far enough?
Historically, it appears that the 1229 Conquest of Jerusalem was negotiated by treaty, not won by force of arms.

Added, that's a new location.
I also updated the icons to be more readable when everything is checked. Manuscripts are books, other art is a painters' palette and buildings are towers

I am a little confused. I looked at the list out of curiousity, but I didn't see the Castello di Porta Giovia. Maybe that is included in one of the manuscripts that you list.

No need for confusion Mark, it is a work in progress without any claims of completeness. I just add what is posted here

Nick Pelling has tracked down some drawings from manuscripts on his blog.
