Medieval arms and armour are intrinsically fascinating. From the smoke and noise of
the armourers 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 46 images of extant armour and weapons from the period, and contemporary artistic depictions from illuminated manuscripts and other sources. It will be of interest to a wide audience, from practitioners of living history and martial arts, to students of literature, military history, art, and material culture.
