I am researching Scotland, 1297 and have become fascinated with Andrew De Moray and his part of Scotland's fight for independence. Does anyone have any...
Diane You probably need to find any good biographies of Wallace, Bruce or even Edward I and you will find information on de Moray or Murray. There are quite a...

I recently discovered this image from the Huth Psalter of c.1280. http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/illmanus/other/011add000038116u00013000.html In the...

Henk, Yes, traffic's slow, but it beats congestion. I can agree with the "badly drawn", but don't think this is a typical flat-top pothelm. It seems as if the...
It's not your typical flat pothelm, I agree, but to my eye it looks like he had some trouble with persepctive. It might even be that he tried to draw something...

I think we should not put too much worth on the level of reality of this miniature. Anybody ever seen a wavy fuller on a sword? To my eye it's quite a basic...

LOL! Give up already? I don't know you like that, Joris! You, of course, have heard that middlevils depicted historical events as if they took place in their...

I don't give up Henk. But there is no point in arguing about something of which we know will never be clear. I.e. the wavy blade. I'm still most interested in...
On the issue of the wavy fullers, I have noticed this feature in other 13th century manuscripts. The last time I brought it up (Sword Forum?, Net Sword?,...
Although Villard de Honnecourt is too early for the period covered by this board, I believe it is unquestionable that he had more artistic ability than we see...

Dear all, Having labored mightily on a new smock/undertunic (Nockert type I) of fine linen, I was rather pleased with its progress, all seams flatfelled @ 5mm...
