fol. 194r, col. B: the battle of Nájera. It is represented as a battle in a field between two armies of footsoldiers armed with lances and full plate armour. On the left is the army led by Pedro the Cruel, who is shown wearing a golden coronet on his bacinet, and with an armorial surcoat and banner both showing the quarterly arms of Castile-Léon contourné (quarterly, 1-4, gules, a triple-towered castle or with windows, 2-3, argent, a lion passant sable). On the right is the army led by his opponent Henry II of Castile, who is also shown wearing a golden coronet on his bacinet, and with an armorial surcoat and banner both showing the quarterly arms of Castile-Léon (quarterly, 1-4, gules, a triple-towered castle or with windows, 2-3, argent, a lion passant sable). Behind him is Bertrand du Guesclin, with an armorial surcoat and a banner with his arms (argent, an eagle with two heads sable, a bend gules). Between the two armies there are several dead bodies. They are facing the left and so probably represent the casualties on the side of Henry II of Castile, who lost the battle. The background is diapered with gold, blue and red with white penwork.
