Arming a Knight PDF Print E-mail
Sir Richard Fitzwelle, accompanied by the Lady Eleanor, were at the Museum of Oxford on April 17th. This event started the Guild's 2008 season very successfully: Sir Richard explained the various parts of the medieval  suit of armour, and with Lady Eleanor to help him, donned full armour and prepared for battle. There were many anecdotes of medieval life during the day, and younger visitors were able to discover for themselves just how heavy the helmet and weapons were to hold, let alone use, which explained why so many hours were spent in training. There will shortly be photos of the day as a new gallery of this year's events is in preparation.
