The Use of Medieval Weaponry

By: Eric Lowe

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

This is a book about how medieval weapons were used, according to medieval people who used them. It discusses the use of eight weapons or weapon combinations from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, selected with an eye toward their iconic status in popular culture, as well as five different combative contexts. The aim of this book is to familiarize the listener with the use of medieval weaponry in a general way. It is not a how-to book on martial arts, but the listener will come away with a fresh appreciation for the sophistication of medieval fencing and a reasonably accurate picture of what medieval fighting looked like on the personal level.

a very brief but fun overvieuw of what HEMA has to offer.

it is a wide and shallow overvieuw of a verry large amount weapons and styles.
like browsing a catalogue.
fun to see what is out there and a smal example or story about possible outcome.
