Transitional armour describes the armour used in Europe around the 13th and 14th centuries, as body armour moved from simple mail hauberks to full plate armour. The couter was added to the hauberk to better protect the elbows, and splinted armour and the coat of plates provided increased protection for other areas. Armourers in general began ...

The English longbow is laden with myth; of its origins, its power, its achievements. That and the centuries that have passed since it was used in earnest, means that the knowledge of what it was actually capable of doing has also passed. The captains and commanders that once knew its’ true power in physical and in military terms, are long dead. So ...
Joe Gibbs. As close as we can come to a medieval archer. Joe has been shooting a few times a week since he was 14 and has been shooting heavy bows from the start. He can draw and shoot a 200lbs longbow and shoots a 160lbs longbow (very accurately) for this film.
Will Sherman is a full time and very authentic fletcher. Will is a stunningly knowledgeable fletcher whose pursuit and practice of this knowledge is unsurpassed. Will provided authentic arrows with wrought iron heads.
Kevin Legg is a very talented and thorough armourer and metalwork conservator. Kevin has a deep understanding of his subject, but also chooses to work as much as he can in 14th and 15thC ways and is the only armourer I know who can make a variable thickness breastplate.
Chrissi Carnie makes very, very accurate historical clothing. Chrissi can be depended on to absolutely get every last stitch and form correct and she provided the jupon panel in silk faced linen, stuffed with cotton fibre.
Dr Tobias Capwell; Curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection, author and jouster. Toby clearly has an in depth knowledge of the history and artefacts of the time from an academic point of view, but also uniquely he is a practicing world class jouster.
It is also important to mount the breastplate in a manner that is a facsimile to the human body and the armour system of the time. The breast plate is mounted onto a wheeled stand that is free to move and has some sway to represent that of the body. On to this is mounted a ballistic gel torso fronted in a 5 layer arming doublet and a layer of rivet...
The first round of tests is to establish what the maximum power of the English Longbow actually is and how this reduces over distance shot. This is not strictly required for our test as we are going to shoot at 25m, but it helps us understand the spread of impact energies. Joe shot the bow through a chronograph at 10, 25 and 50m and we got successf...
Archer and bowyer
Joe Gibbs has been shooting since he was 14 and effectively grown up with the longbow. He shoots a few times a week and it is clear he shoots a 160lbs in a very casual, yet accurate manner. We can only imagine he would be on a par with a competent medieval archer. Unfortunately, there are no existing longbows that we can base our bow on, so the closest longbows in time are from the Mary Rose ship, which sank in 1545. Clearly this is much later than the battle of Agincourt, but we are fairly s...
Arrows
Fletched by Will Sherman of www.medievalarrows.co.uk We have the same problems here in that there are no existing arrows from this period and the only war arrows we know of close to this date are also The Mary Rose ones, albeit fitted with 1406 heads for these tests. Will is a very accomplished fletcher and arrowsmith who really strives to get every detail right, so these have wrought iron heads based on accession number 7568 from the Museum of London, some case hardened and some wrought iron...
Breastplate
Raised by Kevin Legg of www.plessisarmouries.co.uk. We based the breastplate on a number 14 from the Churburg Armoury and it is dated to 1390. Fortunately we know enough about this piece to make a good reproduction of it as we have dimensions and weight, but also the material, carbon content, thickness and heat treatment method. 1. Thickness at centre chest 2.5mm 2. Thickness at sides and over the shoulders 1.5mm 3. Material is homogenous 0.5% carbon steel, heated and air cooled

Horsebows: Originally used by mounted archers, horsebows are short, compact bows made from wood, horn, and sinew. Horsebows offer impressive power and accuracy despite their small size. 4. Flatbows: These bows offer a balance between the simplicity of a longbow and the power of a recurve bow.

Baroque bows. Until the mid-18th century, bows were produced with a different standard of durability in mind. The frog and tip had no metallic reinforcements; buttons were made of organic materials such as horn, bone or ivory; and there was no ferrule before around 1780. Surviving bows are often damaged as a result.
