The student or prince on the right is wearing a less fancy chinstrap hat that might also be a crown. Behind him are four other boys with no hats, two of them with their faces partly obscured by his hat.
I just read somewhere that the king on the left is Domitian, a Roman emperor, so I imagine the helmets on the right are are Roman helmets. As you know, I am suffering greatly from poor resolution on my computer screen as well as from poor eyesight, which is causing me to make a lot of mistakes, but I correctly stated that manuscript itself is from the 13th century.
We find a fleur-de-lis in the VMS on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and it is also the form of the shield on f17r. Did use of the fleur-de-lys as a royal symbol begin with the French kings or with the Romans?
