Medieval Weapons Bring Collectors Back to the Dark Ages by Todd Alan
Thoughts of the Dark Times conjure up dark images of medieval castles, moats, knights, witchcraft and not least of all, images of medieval battles, the heavy clink of medieval weapons, of spiked maces and damsels in distress.
There are stories which still abide of great knights and their medieval weapons which are items that legends are made of.
Who hasn’t heard of the Knights Templar, or the ancient fighting warriors, the skilled fighters made famous during the Crusades and their famous swords and shields, medieval weapons with exclusive designs, which distinguished these knights from other knights.
All readers of folk tales are well versed with the legend of Robin Hood and his merry band of archers who were skilled accurate with a bow. These medieval weapons have been made most popular by the myth of Robin Hood and the image of his bow and arrow. They also made use of the crossbow, a more deadly use of medieval weapon, since sometimes they were laced with poison, ending the life of its victim instantly.
No matter what one reads about the Dark Ages, one is bound to come across the other great knight of the times, King Arthur and his knights of the round table. The medieval weapon made famous in association with the knight is well known to most readers. King Arthur and his knights made famous the sword ” one of the primary devices constituting the whole gamut of medieval weapons. King Arthur’s famous sword was named ‘Excalibur,’ which, as legend may have it, the king had acquired from a magical lake.
In addition to these legendary medieval weapons, armors were a very important part of the weaponry and battle fatigues during the Dark Ages. Each knight would have a separate emblem on his armor signifying his role and magnificence.
King Arthur’s warlords were also famous for using popular medieval weapons like bone clubs, huge hammers which could kill at one throw, pikes, jagged-edged special swords, knives etc.
One may also have heard of the story of Joan of Arc in France at these times, fighting for ‘God’ as she believed, used innovative medieval weapons like bolder missiles, which helped the French army attack fortresses and their ramparts. The force of these simple yet effective missiles busted down solid walls of forts and Joan won fight after fight for France.
The other famous legend of the bow, a medieval weapon made famous by a Swiss guy named William Tell, a guy who was apart of a group of warriors who wouldn’t allow the Austrian invasion of Switzerland. The story of William Tell and his known bow, which hit an apple, on top of his son’s head by the governor is a great story of medieval marksmanship.
The Dark Ages, an age renowned for its famous knights and heroes, of quarrels and heroic deeds, is thus made more legendary by the medieval weapons tagged with the spirit of the times.
