The Medieval Soldier.

NORMAN, A. V. B.

History

Crowell, 1971

A skillful survey of weapons and warfare in England from the time of the Anglo Saxon invasions to the founding of the first regular army. Nearly two hundred clear and authentically detailed line illustrations document the evolution and history of the sword, crossbow, longbow, halberd, pike and pistol. This fascinating variety of weapons is matched by descriptions and illustrations of the men who wielded them, and of castles, forts and battle strategies. The author and illustrator make military history and architecture come alive with their enthusiastic presentation of medieval engineering and bold knights and the common bowman and pikeman - the real strength of England's armies.

Volume 1: European Armour is the first catalog to offer a comprehensive inventory of this substantial and historically significant collection in more than one hundred years. Among the highlights of the collection are imposing sets of Greenwich armor created in the sixteenth century for Henry VIII and Sir Christopher Hatton; an exceptionally beautiful set of armor created in the early seventeenth century for Henry, Prince of Wales; and an ornate field garniture belonging to Julius, Duke of Brunswick, a fine example of armor in the continental style. In addition to fresh research, the book features more than five hundred new photographs that provide clear front, back, and side views, as well as close-ups of ornamentation, maker’s marks, and other features for the most important pieces. The book also includes full resources for further study, including two essays giving a broad overview of the history of the collection; specially commissioned reconstruction drawings of important Greenwich garnitures, including lost pieces; a glossary of important terms; and an index, appendix, and bibliography.
