What does this stained glass window depict?
What I have so far:

Eglise Notre Dame de Bon Voyage,inside interior,stained glass window,Catholic religious art,

Only (1) other image of this on Alamy AFAICT, seems to have church name wrong, calling it Saint Nicolas Church, the parish might be Saint Nicolas??
I got name from Google Maps…
Is person depicted Saint Nicolas?  Other?  Who are attackers?
Advice appreciated, thanks in advance.  Regards jg

Google translates as - "Stained glass of the massacre of the abbot of Saint Porchaire II and 500 monks of the Abbey of Lérins by the Saracens, around 731: massacre of monks"

On Alamy there are some images of stained glass windows with the keyword Mauméjean (the makers).

No searches though. Lots of searches for Saracens. Mostly for modern day sports clubs it seems.

VincentL, thanks mate !!
And you reminded me not to only do Google Image Search
but also text searches, ie, name of church + stained glass window

 

You're welcome.

 

"text searches, ie, name of church + stained glass window" - that's exactly what I did!
