			The following is a web page worth reading . It balances the Medieval period with the the follow on Renaissance very expertly. Please see; 
 
http://web.ceu.hu/medstud/manual/SRM/arms1.htm 
and from which I Quote" Given this, one can no more understand the medieval world without having an understanding of weapons and armor than one can understand European intellectual development without ever having been exposed to Aristotle." Unquote.
