Synopsis

The work of curators, conservators and scientists is brought together to consider a range of historic weapons and armour held in collections worldwide. The pieces include not only those made for royalty, such as the helmet of the Black Prince, the armours of King Henry VIII and the jewel-encrusted dagger of Shah Jahan, but also the apparently more mundane and those created to deceive. Through careful study and hands-on experience, each of the contributors provides an eye-opening insight into the history, science and interpretation of these important objects.
