This window is one of a series from the galleryan upper story, similar to a tribune, running along the side of a building and open on one side to the interior; in a church (basilica) above the side aisles, over the ambulatory (central-plan building) and also over the west end. The gallery was used to keep certain groups of worshippers apart (women, noblemen). at Écouen that combines ciphers, devices, and emblems of Anne de Montmorency with strapwork, triumphal caps, and grotesques.
