Der Busant

Der Busant is a Middle High German verse narrative known from a single manuscript and several fragments. It tells of a love affair between the Princess of France and the Prince of England, who elope but are separated after a buzzard steals one of the princess's rings; after more than a year of separation, with the prince having gone mad and living as a wild man, they are reunited.

This fragment of a linen tapestry, which depicts the prince as a wild man and the princess on her palfrey, is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Tapestry: Unknown
