In medieval times an individual often needed to defend his life,
his family and his property. Mercenaries earned their living by
hiring out their skills, while feudal noblemen regularly mustered
their men-at-arms and their subordinate vassals and tenants to
provide military service, even to the point of leading them on
Crusades to the Holy Land and elsewhere. In the later medieval
period the growing cities required their citizens to take up arms
as militia in defence of the community during times of external
threat. In The Medieval Fighting Man - Europa Militaria Special No
18, meticulous use is made of the sources available to enable the
materials, colours and patterns used for reconstructed clothing to
represent the 'real thing' as accurately as possible. Fortunately,
great numbers of medieval weapons and pieces of armour survived and
can now be viewed in displays, and these form the basis of the arms
presented in this book.
