Summary
| Description |
The Battle of Wadi al-Khazandar (Battle of Homs) of 1299 (14th-century miniature) This is an early depiction of a "star and crescent" flag. It is important to note that various combinations of stars and crescents are shown in this manuscripts, and they are not consistently attributed to a particular faction (e.g. the Crusaders have a crescent flag on fol. 19v and a star flag on fol. 9v, and the Mongols have a star and crescent on fol. 22rv -- a secondary source is needed for a coherent discussion). |
| Date | between circa 1300 and circa 1325 (early 14th century) |
