Woodcut illustration for a ballad. Noménoë, the 9th-century Breton chief, returns from hunting (with blood still on his hands) and is told that the son of  the elderly chief of Mount Aré has been cruelly killed by the Frankish invaders. He vows that he will not clean his hands until he has driven the Franks out of Brittany.
