Description
The Medieval Fighting Man - Europa Militaria Special No. 18 Costume and Equipment 800 - 1500 In medieval Europe, defending one's life, family, and property was a daily concern for many individuals. Mercenaries and feudal noblemen alike relied on their military skills to protect themselves and their communities. This book brings together meticulous research and accurate representations of the materials, colours, and patterns used in reconstructed clothing from this period. The authors have carefully studied the available sources to recreate the arms and equipment presented in this book as accurately as possible. Many medieval weapons and pieces of armour have survived to the present day, and these forms the basis for the content of this publication.
