From a copy of the hanging of the Hunts of King Francis, this tapestry describes the outcome of a heron hunt: a valet presents the sovereigns with the remains of the bird. For Wulverhorst Schlegel, "Of all the bird hunts, it is the high-flying of the heron that has been considered infinitely more noble than other flights, and alone worthy of bearing the name of royal flight. Heron hunting, carried out with one or more falcons, is distinguished by the technique it requires and the splendor it displays. Although never consumed, the heron is a very prestigious game, especially hunted for the decoration of the seigneurial tables.
