The Armour Archive

could anyone help me in finding information on items needed to portray a Moorish Gentleman in Spain in the mid 15th century? This would be pre-expulsion.

one of my new shire members is thinking of taking this as a persona and I am in need of some information to provide to him.

his interest is in the Gothic style of armour. From there I was hoping to show him some pictures and information on what a proper soft kit should look like.

thanks for any help

I don't think a moorish gentleman would be wearing gothic armor. If he doesn't mind different kits for on/off the field, then no problem.

this is what seems to be what will happen.

so yes I do believe that he will switch his kit, unless I can also show a few good images of the correct armour.

Check for some of the Osprey titles, they will be a good intro.
