Over recent years the popular approach to medieval history has shifted from the political to the social; and the physical recreation of medieval men and women and their environment by 'living history' groups has prompted a more detailed study of costumes, material culture and ways of life. Many have found accessible sources of information contradictory and confusing, and - given the random and fragmentary survival and publication of documents and a few precious artefacts - this is hardly surprising. Some 19th century historians published mistaken assumptions based upon individual and little-understood survivals and finds. A tendency to underestimate the skills and common sense of our forbears has also created a false image of a gorgeously arrayed nobility presiding over an otherwise ‘primitive' society with a ‘crude' material culture.
Direct evidence for the appearance of our medieval ancestors may be scanty, but the world it reveals is anything but primitive. Gerry Embleton, the well-known historical illustrator and writer, has studied primary sources in several countries over the past 20 years. Drawing only on period documents, pictures, statuary, descriptions, inventories and accounts, and the few actual survivals, he presents here a convincing picture of the ordinary European fighting men - and their womenfolk - of the 14th to 16th centuries. In eleven specially prepared colour plates which compare scores of important source images, and more than 160 colour photographs of carefully reconstructed clothing and armour worn by live models, he presents a striking series of glimpses into a lost world - a world more richly colourful and handsomely detailed than the modern reader may have imagined.
