Authoritative reference guide, using the documents in which arms
and armour first appeared to explain and define them. "A
substantial and impressive piece of scholarship, one that will
serve scholars and enthusiasts of medieval arms and armour very
well indeed". Dr Robert W. Jones, Franklin and Marshall College
Medieval arms and armour are intrinsically fascinating. From the
smoke and noise of the armourer's forge to the bloody violence of
the battlefield or the silken panoply of the tournament, weapons
and armour - and those who made and bore them - are woven into the
fabric of medieval society. This sourcebook will aid anyone who
seeks to develop a deeper understanding by introducing and
presenting the primary sources in which these artefacts are first
mentioned. Over a hundred original documents are transcribed and
translated, including wills and inventories, craft statutes,
chronicle accounts, and challenges to single combat. The book also
includes an extensive glossary, lavishly illustrated with fifty-two
images of extant armour and weapons from the period, and
contemporary artistic depictions from illuminated manuscripts and
other sources. This book will therefore be of interest to a wide
audience, from the living history practitioner, crafter, and
martial artist, to students of literature, military history, art,
and material culture.
