The next epoch begins with the triumphal entry of Frederick I, named the Victorious, after the battle of Seckenheim, 1462. The war-scarred veterans, with torn ensigns and shattered spears and battered armor, but with proud, triumphant faces, ride slowly along, amid the cheers of men, women and children who owe safety to their arms.
