Armour Defensive Protection 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 15th century with this image of a war horse donning intricate armor and defensive protection. This historical photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us to an era where horses were not just mere animals used for transportation, but integral components of the battlefield. The war horse in the image wears armor that covers its entire body, from its head to its hooves. The armor is adorned with intricate designs, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the armorer. The horse's head is protected by a helmet-like structure, while its body is covered in plates of metal, providing it with a formidable defense against enemy attacks. The protective gear on the horse's legs is particularly noteworthy, as it includes greaves to protect the legs from swords and other weapons. The horse's tail and mane are also covered, ensuring that no vulnerable areas are left exposed. The use of armored horses in warfare dates back to ancient civilizations, but it was during the Middle Ages that their use became widespread. Armored horses were used by both the knights and their mounts to protect them from enemy attacks during battles. The armor not only protected the horse but also instilled fear in the enemy ranks, making them a formidable presence on the battlefield. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of warfare and the important role that horses played in it. It provides us with a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and innovation of the people of that time. The image also serves as a reminder of the deep bond between humans and horses, a bond that has stood the test of time and continues to inspire us today.
