A majority of the original stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral survive.
 During World War II most of the stained glass was removed from the cathedral and stored in the surrounding countryside to protect it from damage
 The installation of the Vendme Chapel between two buttresses of the nave in the early 15th century resulted in the loss of one more lancet window, though it did allow for the insertion of a fine late-Gothic window with donor portraits of Louis de Bourbon and his family witnessing the Coronation of the Virgin with assorted saints
