Medieval Art depicting The death of Philip of France. His horse tripped on a pig, and he died.

Philip of France (1116–1131) , co-ruling with his father King Louis VI of France.

A tragic accident.

What a weird way for a "crown prince" to die.

Looking for artists

Hello there, im a non pro writer, but Im looking for an artist who can help me with the illustrations for a book Im making (a TRPG manual based mainly on D&D and Aquelarre). Of course, I would pay for it, but the tariff is something we will need to accord in order that Im only 20, and a student.

If you are interested please dm me. The art style Im looking for is old medieval one.
