The fine details of their armor and weapons are illuminated by intricate strokes of ink, highlighting both the artistry and historical significance of this piece. Johann Koelhoff's illuminated manuscript provides us with valuable insights into medieval society's approach to war and conflict. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of how battles were fought within densely populated cities during this era.
