Title A name given to the resource Hauberk Description An account of the resource Mail armor was the predominant form of metal body defense for European knights until about 1350.

Title A name given to the resource Dagger Description An account of the resource This dagger would have once been twinned with a rapier, a long sword with a slender blade and elaborate hilt. The rapier and dagger combination was primarily designed for self-defence. The sixteenth-century rapier was both a slashing and stabbing weapon. Its accompanying dagger was used in the left hand for parrying and stabbing in close. The stiff slender blades of both were designed to pierce clothing rather than armour. The raper and dagger were also male fashion accessories worn at court, in procession and about town. They projected an image of honour based on social standing and, if necessary, defended it in one-on-one combat. The private duel was one consequence of the development of the rapier and dagger. New specialised fencing techniques were not welcomed by all. The conservative English defence expert, George Silver, felt a noble heritage of purpose-made war blades, clubs, flails and maces had been sacrificed at the altar of fashion as swords and daggers became faddish civilian accessories. ‘We like degenerate sonnes, have forsaken our forefathers vertues with their weapons.’ The intricate patterns of gold and silver wire on the surface of the pommel and knuckle guard is known as damascening. As the name implies, damascening originated in countries to the east of Europe, particularly Syria (Damascus), Persia, Egypt and Turkey. Imports of Islamic goods through Venice gave north Italian craftsmen plenty of inspiration when decorating anything from brass dishes to hand-warmers. The great Florentine sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini described his ‘burning desire’ to try his hand at making daggers ‘engraved by iron tools with patterns of beautiful foliage, in the Turkish style, which were nicely filled in with gold’.

Title A name given to the resource Halberd Description An account of the resource The halberd was a staff weapon favoured by European infantries (foot soldiers) of the 1400s and 1500s for its versatility and deadly effect. The word halberd comes from the German words Halm (staff) and Barte (axe). The halberd is, in fact, an axe that served multiple functions: the axe blade was used for hacking, the spike for thrusting, and the beak for piercing plate armour or for pulling a knight from his saddle. The halberd was used by shock troops (those who led an attack) and by Swiss and German mercenaries. After about 1550, the halberd gradually became less functional. Its large blade provided space for coats of arms and insignia. By the late 1500s, the parade halberd had become a ceremonial weapon for palace guards. Date: 1475-1500 Provenance: Germany (?)

Title A name given to the resource Sacred Sword of the Kings of France Description An account of the resource The coronation sword of the kings of France entered the Louvre during the French Revolution along with the other ceremonial instruments, previously kept in the treasury of the Abbey of Saint-Denis. The sword is composed of very diverse elements. Both sides of the pommel are adorned with a repoussé decoration representing birds confronting each other, similar to the Scandinavian ornaments of the 10th and 11th centuries. The two quillons represent stylized winged dragons that can be dated to the 12th century. The gold rocket, covered with a network of lozenges, seems to date from the 13th or 14th century. The scabbard is composed of a long case, embroidered with fleur-de-lis, which was added for the coronation of Charles X in 1825. The oldest elements of this scabbard are, on the one hand, the large plate decorated with stones mounted in filigree battens, characteristic of the second half of the 13th century and, on the other hand, the buckle and its buckle-plate. Very modified, the sword nevertheless remains a testimony to the sumptuousness of the instruments of the coronation of the kings of France.
