Sir Guy de Bryan, Baron Bryan (d. 1391): A Chromolithograph Depiction of a 14th Century English Knight This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, showcases the impressive attire and armor of Sir Guy de Bryan, Baron Bryan, an English knight who passed away in 1391. The image is based on the effigy of Sir Guy that can be found in Tewkesbury Abbey, England. Sir Guy is depicted in full armor, wearing a bascinet helmet adorned with a camail, a type of chainmail veil that protected the neck and shoulders. His surcoat, emblazoned with a cross, is worn over a fitted hauberk, a type of mail shirt. A cape, fastened with a brooch, covers his shoulders, while his plate armor, including a gorget, pauldrons, and gauntlets, protect his chest, arms, and hands. Two Italian knights of the late 14th century are also featured in the illustration, adding to the overall grandeur of the scene. The Italian knights are dressed in similar armor, with chainmail camails attached to their helmets, and surcoats displaying their personal coats of arms. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously captured the intricate details of the knights' armor and attire. This chromolithograph is an invaluable resource for those studying medieval fashion, costume, and military history. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, Germany. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the chromolithograph bring the knights and their armor to life, transporting us back to the Middle Ages and offering a glimpse into the world of these brave warriors.
