Title
The Nine Worthies at Kölner Rathaus
Description
These carved wooden figures at the city hall in Cologne, Germany represent the "nine worthies" a group of nine historical, biblical, and literary figures who personified ideas of chivalry in the Middle Ages. These nine figures were divided into three groups of three: Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon), Pagans (Hector, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar), and Jewish (Joshua, David, and Judas Maccabeus). Godfrey, known for his participation in the crusades, is third from the left with a dog at his feet.
