About 1/2 way down this page http://www.bleublancturc.com/Turqueries/janissaires.htm there is a picture of three warriors #3 being labled "Fantassin d'élite ottoman, début XIV ème siècle"

I'm on a work computer and unable to do lots of things. Can I get a translation of what that says, and any more info you might have about it?

"Elite Ottoman infantryman, at the beginning of 14th century"
(loose translation)

Merci Johann (it was French wasn't it)

Anybody have comments on the picture? Is it accurate?
