The idea of late medieval arms and armour often conjures up images of lumbering warriors, clad in heavy plate armour, hacking away at with each other with enormous weapons – depictions perpetuated in both bad literature and bad movies. In this introductory guide, replete with fabulous photography and marvellous anecdotes, internationally-renowned edged weapons expert Robert Woosnam-Savage describes the brutal reality of personal protection and attack in the so-called ‘age of chivalry’. From Bannockburn to Bosworth, Poitiers to Pavia, this book is an indispensable introduction to an iconic era.
Robert Woosnam-Savage is Curator of Armour and Edged Weapons at the Royal Armouries. He has curated a number of major exhibitions, published widely on arms and armour, and was the historical consultant on a number of movies including Rob Roy (1995), Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Robin Hood (2010). He was also the Project Weapons Expert for the University of Leicester ‘Search for Richard III’ Archaeological Team which studied the skeleton of Richard III (‘the king under the car park’).
