6. The Meeting between Pope Cyriacus and the Pilgrims. |
| Most of the buildings in the sequence are based on fantastical versions of Venetian architecture, but in this picture there is a real building; the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. Pope Cyriacus isn't so real - the general view is that he never existed. However, the Golden Legend gets round this one: it tells us that 'The clergy could not accept what he had done, and removed his name from the catalogue of the Popes.' |

7. The Pilgrims' Arrival in Cologne |
| On the left Ursula and Cyriacus lean out of their ship and talk to a boatman. In the right foreground four bad guys representing the Huns are beginning to plot. The dog is just not that bothered. |
