Battle of Agincourt armour drawings or examples?

Post by Aaron »

Hi,

I know you all have links to great pictures of copies of armour possibly used at the Battle of Agincourt or drawings that actually reflect armour of the time.

Sadly I can’t find good links right now, but I know if I post here I’ll get more links than I can handle in seconds. So I’m throwing in the towel and asking for help.

Help?

With thanks,

-Aaron

Thanks!

I remember looking at astounding documentation resources right here on the Historical Resources page. At least two outstanding websites (if not more).

I'm looking to put a perf-plate in the chapel de fer and use it for CotT, C&T, SCA fencing and BotN training, as well as just general SCA heavy fighting. But I'd rather not go off half-cocked again. I do that a lot. :( So I thought I could look through all the beautiful documentation websites that are cited here (Kirby Wise had one?) and I couldn't find them. :( After finals I fear my brain as "thrown a rod."

With thanks,

-Aaron

I have a large amount of research for La Belle, every English effigy has a bassinet (visors are off to show the persons face). Manuscripts show kettle helms but bascinet seem to dominate there too, try a search on the effigy and manuscript search engine and you should see some stuff.
