The team developed content for selected objects at the Higgins Armory Museum. QR codes installed next to these artifacts allow visitors to access a variety of minigames and fact pages using their mobile devices. Facts for the object are selected randomly from a pool, making the experience different each time the code is scanned, and the pool adapts based on artifacts visited, personalizing the experience. 2 Contents Contents........................................................................................................................... 3 Figures..............................................................................................................................6 Introduction ……………………………………………......................................................... 9 Double Edged Swords In Europe………………………………………………………...21 The European Bronze Age Sword……………………………………………….21 Ancient edged weapons prior to the Bronze Age………………………..21 Uses of European Bronze Age swords, general trends, and common innovations

  • Late-Medieval France
    Late-Medieval France: A Nation under Construction A study of French national identity formation and the emerging of national consciousness, before and during the Hundred Years War, 1200-1453 Job van den Broek MA History of Politics and Society Dr. Christian Wicke Utrecht University 22 June 2020 Word count: 13.738 2 “Ah! Doulce France! Amie, je te lairay briefment”1 -Attributed to Bertrand du Guesclin, 1380 Images on front page: The kings of France, England, Navarre and the duke of Burgundy (as Count of Charolais), as depicted in the Grand Armorial Équestre de la Toison d’Or, 1435- 1438. 1 Cuvelier in Charrière, volume 2, pp 320. ”Ah, sweet France, my friend, I must leave you very soon.” Translation my own. 2 3 Abstract Whether nations and nationalism are ancient or more recent phenomena is one of the core debates of nationalism studies. Since the 1980’s, modernism, claiming that nations are distinctively modern, has been the dominant view. In this thesis, I challenge this dominant view by doing an extensive case-study into late-medieval France, applying modernist definitions and approaches to a pre-modern era. France has by many regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers’ of the club of nations and has a long and rich history and thus makes a case-study for such an endeavour. I start with mapping the field of French identity formation in the thirteenth century, which mostly revolved around the royal court in Paris. With that established, I move on to the Hundred Years War and the consequences of this war for French identity.

  • Interpretation of Fiore Dei Liberi's Spear Plays
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands On section, articles 131 Interpretation of Fiore dei Liberi’s Spear Plays Jakub Dobi Ars Ensis [email protected] Abstract – How did Fiore Furlano use a spear? What is the context, purpose, and effect of entering a duel armed with a spear? My article- originally a successful thesis work for an Ars Ensis Free Scholler title- describes in detail what I found out by studying primary sources (Fiore’s works), related sources (contemporary and similar works), and hands-on experience in controlled play practice, as well as against uncooperative opponents. In this work I cover the basics- how to hold the spear, how to assume Fiore’s stances, how to attack, and how to defend yourself. I also argue that the spear is not, in fact, a preferable weapon to fence with in Fiore’s system, at least not if one uses it in itself. It is however, a reach advantage that has to be matched, and thus the terribly (mutually) unsafe situation of spear versus spear occurs. As a conclusion, considering context and illustrations of spear fencing, I argue that the spear is only to be considered paired with other weapons, like dagger, or sword. In fact, following Fiore’s logic, we can assume he used the spear to close the distance to use a weapon he feels more in control with. Keywords – Fiore, Furlano, Liberi, Italian, duel, spear, Ars Ensis I. PROCESS OF RESEARCH The article itself is largely devoted to trying to point out the less obvious points to make about this specific style of spear fencing.

  • Flandre-Artois
    Excursion de la Société géologique du Nord le samedi 28 septembre 2013 Des monts de Flandre aux collines de l’Artois Solidarités spatiales et temporelles de l’eau : du nuage au consommateur via le territoire Compte rendu Introduction Dans nos paysages artificialisés, nous perdons la perception de la dynamique naturelle de l’eau et du terrain. Le circuit a offert d’apprendre à relire des indices paysagers qui font comprendre à quelle échelle telle ou telle partie du territoire évolue sous les actions conjuguées de facteurs naturels (tectonique, érosion/sédimentation, météorologie, interactions avec le vivant, etc.) et de facteurs anthropiques (agriculture, industrie, urbanisme). Le circuit support part de Lille - Villeneuve-d’Ascq en direction du Mont Noir puis descend dans la plaine de la Lys vers Merville, remonte le cours de la Clarence, pour se terminer en amont de Pernes-en-Artois, avant retour sur Lille par l’autoroute A21 puis A1. Une quinzaine de personnes a suivi le circuit, encadrée par le Prof. Francis Meilliez (Université Lille 1, 1er vice-président de la SGN), accompagné par Benoît Poncelet (directeur du Conseil d’Architecture, d’Urbanisme et de l’Environnement du Nord – CAUE Nord). Le rendez-vous s’est fait à 8h au parking des Quatre-Cantons (campus de la Cité scientifique), Villeneuve d’Ascq (59). Un dépliant descriptif a été remis aux participants).

Elle a longtemps joué un rôle de protection et de surveillance pour les territoires environnants : oppidum romain, ville médiévale enceinte puis châtellenie et lieu de batailles des Comtes de Flandre.

  • Xvi Cent. Italian Partisan and Spetum
    XVI CENT. ITALIAN PARTISAN AND SPETUM SOURCES ACHILLE MAROZZO, Opera Nova, book IV, 1536 ANTONIO MANCIOLINO, Opera Nova, book VI, 1531 FRANCESCO ALTONI, Monomachia, book II, XVI cent RELATORS Andrea Morini & Devis Carli – SALA D'ARME ACHILLE MAROZZO Polearms are metal weapons put on a very long wooden shaft (which can be reinforced by metal strips) in order to increase their offensive and defensive distance. Their shapes heavily depend on the type of polearm, place and date of fabrication. Dimensions vary depending on the type of weapon. Since the shafts were made of wood, which is a very perishable material, we don’t have many original weapons. Most of them are blades put on a new shaft, or blades alone. The peculiarity of these weapons is their length, which influences offensive, defensive potential and wielding. Agriculture tools were used in war even without modification, but were only slightly improved to reach their full performance as weapons. In the treatises is fairly common the use of: poleaxe, halberd, bill, spetum, partesan, big partesan, spear and pike. ANDREA MORINI & DEVIS CARLI XVI CENT. ITALIAN PARTISAN AND SPETUM PARTISAN Pietro Monte (Book I, Chap. 1) tells us the partisan is a roughly two meters long weapon, that is to say the distance from ground level to the raised hand of a man. The partisan had a simple triangular blade, put on a square or octagonal (says Francesco Altoni) shaft. Both its edges were sharp. Two prongs (curved little wings) were later added in the blade’s base. The first kind of partisans (without prongs) disappeared during the XVII century, while a lot of the second kind (with prongs), with maybe a better finish and slightly more decorative, managed to survive.

In place of an organic, or alternatively episodic, account that might focus on socio-economic trends or constitutional-political developments centring on domestic situations, war offers an explanatory model that makes it possible to relate international and domestic spheres and to align state-building - a central, structural feature of contemporary political society - with chronological specifics: the derails of conflicts.
