Armour in England, 1325–99
Publication date: September 2011

Author(s): Thom Richardson
A dramatic change in the personal armour of the knightly classes occurred across the whole of Europe in the middle of the fourteenth century: the addition of plate armour on top of the mail defences that had been worn since the time of the Roman empire. This change is documented in England by the series of monumental effigies and brasses, as well as a very few surviving examples. The story is supplemented by documentary records, especially those of the armoury at the Tower of London, which shed new light on the equipment of the English armies of the first half of the Hundred Years War.
► New information about arms and armour in England in the fourteenth century. ► Re-dating of a type of mail armour from the fifteenth to the mid fourteenth century. ► Evidence for the manufacture of fine decorated armour in London in the 1370s. ► Details of the personal armour of Edward III. ► Details of the manufacture of shields

Avorio d’ogni ragione: the supply of elephant ivory to northern Europe in the Gothic era
Publication date: June 2010
Source:Journal of Medieval History, Volume 36, Issue 2
Author(s): Sarah M. Guérin
This article accounts for the hitherto unexplained increase in the availability of ivory in mid-thirteenth-century France through an alteration in the medieval trade routes that brought elephant tusks from Africa to northern Europe. A newly-opened passage through the Straits of Gibraltar allowed a small amount of luxury goods to be shipped together with bulk materials necessary to the flourishing textile industries of northern Europe.

Faith in war: the religious experience of Scottish soldiery, c.1100–c.1500

This paper examines the comparatively patchy evidence for the pastoral provision and personal faith of late medieval Scottish combatants below the rank of knight. By examining such sources as papal supplications, royal financial accounts, parliamentary rolls, chronicles, poetry and the cartularies of Scottish monastic houses and burgh collegiate churches, it is possible to identify elite and parish provision of churchmen serving the needs of Scottish troops as they mustered, trained and prepared for battle. In addition, this evidence also highlights a number of cults and relics popular with the social ranks of the ordinary Scottish soldiery, including those of SS Ninian, Leonard, Thomas Becket, Columba, the Blessed Virgin Mary and — often cast as the nemesis of Scottish troops — Cuthbert. However, this survey also points to some tensions between the spiritual interests of Scottish servicemen and their ruling elites.
► Examines pastoral provision and personal faith in late medieval Scottish armies. ► Focuses on combatants below the rank of knight. ► Illustrates organisational involvement of parish priests in army musters. ► Highlights cults and relics popular with ordinary Scottish soldiers. ► Some tensions with spiritual interests of Scottish ruling elites.
