Respuesta :
Royal lineage, St. Denis is thought to be a symbol of the royal ancestry of Christ among the Old Testament kings and queens. Abbot Suger's philosophy was heavily influenced by this idea of kingship. These Old Testament kings and queens were seen not only as Christ's forebears but also as significant forerunners of the French Kings and Queens.
Although the three portals' upper portions are treated separately, the façade's many components are joined by two sculptural features that run horizontally across it. The tall, slender standing figures of the kings and queens who gave the Portail royal its name are most prominently displayed on the jamb statues attached to the columns surrounding the doorways.
These figures probably depict the kings and queens of the Old Testament, another common iconographic element of Gothic portals, despite being incorrectly recognized in the 18th and 19th centuries as the Merovingian monarchs of France (attracting the scorn of Revolutionary iconoclasts).
