Description:

This item is in the Burton Constable Hall collections and is included on this database by kind permission of the Burton Constable Foundation. Cantemir was a 17th-century Moldavian Prince who, alongside Peter the Great, fought against the Ottoman Empire. Gallant, erudite and sophisticated, he provides an ideal companion to the medieval warrior Saladin (Salah-al-Din). As chivalric figures, they appealed to the Romantic sensibilities of the age. Located in the Cantemir Room.
