My bf is telling me about the Book of Revelations from early 13th c, and it's funny how the monks were blaming the demons for every mundane thing, even just slighly unpolite, that would happen to them. I couldn't help but get inspired by that and make a little comic about it...👹

Restitution of one of the 25 armed familiars Sforza wanted for "going out on horse" by an ordonnance of 1473. Another 25 mounted crossbowmen are mentioned. Their equipment was maybe the same. Brigandine colour is arbitrary. A giornea at the Sforza devise was probably worn.

Follow-up of the last: franc archer ("franc arbalétrier" [crossbowman] in this case) in gear, from a rich or generous commune, usually affording brigandines. Only missing is the hoqueton or livery jacket that would cover the brigandine and display the arms of the company.

Franc archer undressed. Armed, he would put on a brigandine, brigandine guardbraces (shoulder armour), the other elbow guard, and a sallet. Then of course the belt for dagger and sword; and the belt for arrow/bolt case, or gauntlets if he is a vougier or pikeman.

In practice, they could commonly have a maille gorget and some plate elbows. As infantry legs were unarmoured. The memorandum wanted jack over supposedly-less-convenient brigandines. That part of the reform didn't hit everywhere, probably following a form of lobbying from communal armourers.

Little doodle of a bowman franc-archer with the ~1466 memorandum specifications. Asides from the accurately-described jack, of 25 to 30 layers and an optional deerskin; these guys carried bow and arrows in their bag, dagger, a short sword and an optional buckler. Their sallet was to be visorless.

Lames, fixed attachments and red cloth aren't bad per se but you never know what some rules may consider fraudulent or not. Metal shield is one of those things that's considered an unfair advantage/hurt the nature of the game in some way. It was ruled out for a joust organised by Bouciquaut in 1389.

To clear up the confusion, it is corrosive against skin and especially the eyes and presumably airways. It isn't intended to melt down any of the armours ^-^

The powder is described in Fiore de'i Liberi's fencing treatise (Getty Museum MS Ludwig XV 13) in the pollaxe techniques section. The recipe involves spurge sap and a ground down flower used to coagulate on skin. You can look up the full texts here : wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fiore_d...

The bits come from various sources, visual (Kyeser, extant armours and effigies) and textual, fencing treatises (Fiore) and worship treatises (Johan Hyll), as well as records of the items being banned in more general texts (Du Beuil). Artwork only:

Hi there, I am an illustrator with a focus on late medieval costume. I try to breathe some life into centuries old armours and dresses that once gracefully moved. If you want to explore what I do a bit more, start here: eol-art.fr/portfolio/Eo... (warning highres image may go heavy on your device)
