These floor tiles were found at the site of Chertsey Abbey in Surrey. They show the English king, Richard I, spearing the Muslim leader Saladin with his lance during the Third Crusade. The scene was a popular depiction in medieval England and is found in wall paintings and manuscripts as well as on tiles. The Richard I and Saladin tiles form a good starting point for enquiries about the Third Crusade or the wider issues of crusading.
