Le roman de Fierabras is a French chivalric romance printed in Lyons by Jacques Maillet in 1489, compiled by Jehan Bagnyon from a text by Vincent of Beauvais and aimed at a lay reading public. Its woodcuts show armoured knights on horseback fighting before castles and towers, with a fallen rider, a lady holding a sword, and a figure at a gate; their bold outlines, hatched shading and ornamental border strips suit designers wanting medieval battle scenes or a decorative woodcut frame.
