I suppose we really need to talk about the term "Soldier." The rolls for the 1415 France Canpaign do not use the term "soldier" to depict a "Non-Mat at arms." You have these basic categories: Men at arms Mounted archers Archers There is some crossover of names between the two archers. Archers of cou...

Friend of mine ordered a pair of splint arms from Arte dei Fabbri on Etsy.
The shop has not disappeared.

Anybody know about this maker?

Hi all, I'm looking for some help locating retinue rolls for Thomas Chaucer. For the Agincourt campaign. There is debate as to whether or not he actually was at Agincourt, but we know he fielded 12 men at arms and either 30 or 36 archers. (most likely mounted) I'm trying to see if I can learn exactl...
