Knight, late 12th century, (1843). Artist: Henry Shaw
Knight, late 12th century, (1843). The knight seems to be a crusader in coat and hood of mail with a silk surcoat ornamented with crosses. The surcoat came from the east and helped stop armour getting too hot from suns rays. His legs are clad in chausses, with spurs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a knight from the late 12th century, as depicted by artist Henry Shaw in 1843. The knight is portrayed as a crusader, donning a coat and hood of mail with a silk surcoat adorned with crosses. This surcoat, originating from the east, served to prevent the armor from becoming too hot under the scorching sun. His legs are protected by chausses and he wears spurs on his feet. The illustration is taken from "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries" showcasing Shaw's meticulous attention to detail. The knight kneels before us, displaying his impressive suit of armor made up of chain mail. Mounted on an elegant steed, this valiant warrior embodies both strength and devotion. His banner proudly displays symbols associated with Christianity and the Crusades. With sword in hand, he represents an era marked by religious fervor and military conflict. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into medieval times when knights were revered for their chivalry and bravery on battlefields across Europe. Shaw's work not only serves as historical documentation but also evokes our fascination with these legendary figures who shaped our understanding of warfare during that period.
