EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century illustration, taken from Barbazan's Fabliaux et Contes (1808), depicts the intricate process of arming a knight. The knight, dressed in full military regalia, prepares for battle with unwavering determination. As he lowers his visor, there will hardly be a square centimetre of him showing, leaving only his eyes visible through the narrow slits. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration is a testament to the artistry of the time. The knight's armor, a symbol of protection and strength, covers every inch of his body. His helmet, adorned with intricate designs, sits securely on his head, ready to shield him from incoming blows. His gauntlets, shield, and sword are all within easy reach, ensuring that he is fully equipped for the battle ahead. The illustration also reveals the intimacy of the arming process. A squire, standing behind the knight, assists him in fastening the straps and buckles of his armor. The knight's expression remains focused and resolute, as he readies himself for the trials and tribulations of the battlefield. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval military culture, a time when chivalry, honor, and valor were the guiding principles of knighthood. It serves as a reminder of the courage and dedication required to don the armor and take up arms in defense of one's kingdom and people.
