The blackletter text on the frame seems to read Richard' Rex terti' which is contracted from Richardus Rex tertius. I don't know why the name written that way. Kumiponi (talk) 12:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

These are very commons medieval abbreviations. No mystery here. MeAmME (talk) 10:22, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
