medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Christopher,
You are certainly right that the individual panels of an early 13th-century stained glass
window would be fixed in place by iron armatures, but it is highly unlikely that the iron
armature would be affected by wind. More likely, the metal pins holding the panel into its iron
armature snapped, and it was just the panel itself, just glass and leading, that popped out.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
