The church is 12th century and has 12th century and later frescos. Does anyone have more information about this, such as the date of this fresco or the identity of the knights depicted?

I have had a reply that this tapestry site: Mille Fleurs Tapestries (http://www.millefleurstapestries.com/en/12072)
gives the identity of the left knight as Thibaud de Montmorency (son of Bouchard III de Montmorency).
