This one is one of my faves: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6063/6037390841_e41e25b3bf.jpg And this one. Love the details, like the guy in the center with the gambeson -- he has a scale-edged, cloth aventail. And there's that guy at the left with the mattock. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6199/6039...
