After this came several allegorical representations.

Among these was the figure of a knight bearing the arms of Austria.

Underneath his feet, on the car, lay a figure clad in a royal robe, across whom was thrown a banner with the leopards of England.

The knight stood with his foot on this figure.
This representation of the dishonor of England at the hands of Austria elicited great acclamations from the crowd.

Cuthbert clinched his teeth and grasped his sword angrily, but had the sense to see the folly of taking any notice of the insult.
