About This Book

A concise survey traces the chronological development of personal defence and offensive weaponry from medieval through renaissance periods. It divides material into two main sections—defensive armour and weapons and engines of war—examining chain-mail, transitional harnesses, plate armour, helms, tournament gear, and decorative/enriched suits, alongside discussions of armour-makers, restoration issues, and museum collections. The second section surveys swords, daggers, bows and crossbows, siege machines, early artillery and handguns, and staff and club weapons, with attention to chronology, typology, manufacture, and the practical tensions between protective design and offensive technology.
