Description
Medieval warfare is often associated with knights in shining armor and heroic deeds. However, few pieces of military dress and equipment have survived, leaving us to rely on written documentation and pictorial sources for a comprehensive understanding.
The miniatures and drawings found in manuscript books offer a unique window into the nature of medieval warfare. With over 200 examples from the British Library's collection, Pamela Porter presents a detailed study of military dress, equipment, and practices through evocative illustrations.
