look at the pic what can you see what happen

I think it's the story of a guy who give the key of this apartment to some of his buddies.

Given the tendency of medieval artists to show ancient events in 'modern' dress...

Is the event B.C. or A.D.?

edit: Argh! - wait! The chap with the marshals' baton has a crucifix. Obviously A.D.

The surrender of Boabdil?

HiHi

From the picture I would hazard a guess that it's something to do with a petition, one kneeling chap holding up a document, the other grasping his hamds in supplication.

The mounted figueres behind the crowned rider look vaguely Arab/Moorish from there headress and the supplicant looks to have an Assyryian (ish) type beard so overall, guessing again, are we looking at Spain or the Middle East for the event?

All the Best

How about the Magna Carta?
