This stained glass window shows the confrontation of Saint-Léger with the Merovingian king Childéric II or Thierry III.
This stained glass window, made in 1959 by the Gross workshop in Nancy, adopts a modern style with bright colours and stylised shapes. It depicts a haloed bishop in liturgical habit facing a king, surrounded by secondary characters. The main character, on the right, is probably Saint-Léger, he is identifiable by his gold stole, his mitre and his crosier. He faces the Merovingian king Childéric II. He is seated and wears an ornate crown and a red cape. Secondary figures symbolise the king's entourage and give depth to the scene. The soldier's armour and helmet recall earthly authority.This stained glass window, made in 1959 by the Gross workshop in Nancy, adopts a modern style with bright colours and stylised shapes.
