  • Let's Look at Armor

    Let's Look at Armor

    Family THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Guide LET’S LOOK AT ArmoIN THE ARMS AND ARMOR GALLERIESr The Queen’s Champion During the Middle Ages, mounted armored warriors, or knights, were dominant in armies in Europe. At first, most knights were of humble origin, but by the later 1100s many were considered members of the nobility and they followed a system of courteous knightly behavior called chivalry. The creation of the knight’s shining plate armor, with its slick, curving surfaces, came from the need to protect the knight from speedy arrows or crossbow bolts. In addition to protecting the knight, armor was used to show his social position, wealth, and status. This suit of armor, beautifully decorated but strong enough to be worn in battle, was made for Sir George Clifford, who lived during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England (ruled 1558–1603). He sent his own warships against enemy Spanish fleets ten times, and even commanded a ship against the Spanish Armada in 1588, when Spain tried to conquer England. In 1590, he became Queen Elizabeth’s official Champion. about 1580–85; Much of the decoration on this armor symbolizes Clifford’s connection to the queen.

    ENGLAND’S ARMOR: HENRY VIII’S ARMOR AND HIS WARS by James Nobukichi Ito A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art in Art History MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Bozeman, Montana April 2014 ©COPYRIGHT by James Nobukichi Ito 2014 All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION I dedicate this Master’s Thesis to Donald La Rocca, Dr. Todd Larkin, and to Vaughan Judge for their support and guidance in helping me achieve my graduate goals. To Dede Taylor who gave me the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin Of Arms and Men, which got me seriously interested in the topic of arms and armor as a Master’s Thesis. To my fellow graduate students; Kate Cottingham, Chelsea Higgins, Jackie Meade, and Jesine Munson. To the School of Art office staff. I dedicate the success of graduate school to my wife Stephanie, who tolerated me being away from home for these last two years researching and writing my thesis and for bringing our son Jefferson into this world while I was in graduate school. You are my greatest supporter, Stephanie. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have grown as a scholar and as a person in these last two years of graduate school and I have the art history faculty to thank for that. Todd Larkin was my committee chair and he has been my most involved mentor who pushed me to conduct active research and question all evidence of my findings to weave out any doubt that what I discovered was reliable information. He has also been an example to me as a scholar who is enthusiastic about his work and teaches in a way that keeps the class attentive and alive.
  • English Civil War, These Rules Are Intended to Represent the Clash of Roundheaded Parliamentarian and Royalist Cavalier in Glorious 28Mm

    English Civil War, These Rules Are Intended to Represent the Clash of Roundheaded Parliamentarian and Royalist Cavalier in Glorious 28Mm

    Introduction Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a company called Mantic Games created a tabletop fantasy wargame ruleset called Kings of War. It was free, and it was good. Shortly afterwards, a fine fellow named Neldoreth adapted the rules to his favorite(?) historical period, creating a supplement he called Rome Rising. Inspired by their example, I have attempted here to put forward an embryonic, alpha-test-ready Kings of War variant of my own, set in the age of Pike & Shotte. Specifically covering the English Civil War, these rules are intended to represent the clash of Roundheaded Parliamentarian and Royalist Cavalier in glorious 28mm. If these rules meet with any sort of success, expect them to be updated with additional lists for Covanenters, Highlanders, and regional/chronological variants of the two central armies. With just a bit more work, they may be expanded to Continental armies of the Thirty Years War... Acknowledgments and Legal This supplement is neither published nor endorsed by Mantic Games. Kings of War and all associated logos are the property of Mantic Games and used without permission. No challenge to any trademark is intended. To use this document, a copy of Kings of War is required. It is available at no charge from the Mantic Games website, at: http://www.manticgames.com/Hobby/Gaming.html Furthermore, the inspiration for this work comes from the Kings of War; Historical Ancient Battles supplement, ROME RISING, by Neldoreth, available at: www.hourofwolves.org All other illustrations were obtained online, and are believed to be Public Domain.
