Knight's Tale
Wednesday, May 14th at
6:00 PM in Laconia Library’s Rotary Hall.
From
the emergence of the knightly class following the
Fall of Rome to the flourish of chivalric romance in
the 16th century, A Knight’s Tale describes
the evolution of arms and armor from the mail
hauberk of Charlemagne to the full plate tournament
armor at the court of Maximillian I. This program
provides an excellent introduction to the history of
arms and armor in Western Europe.
