Image description

The illumination shows Charles enthroned between two queens, who represent Spiritual Power and Temporal Power - the two authorities a good ruler must strive to balance. A clerk and a knight, the voices heard in the text, stand before them in animated debate. The sleeping figure in the foreground probably represents the author dreaming the scene.
