Seminar on medieval armour this week

[Petitioner's City]

Very well-timed seminar for BT fans; this Wednesday there's a great online seminar on late medieval armour, weapons and heraldry by Glasgow's Centre of War Studies, by National Museum of Scotland's curator on European Arms and Armour:

It reminded of earlier discussions on the site of "barrista templars" - and there's also a great reading list for the event which might be useful for BT fans seeking Contemporary scholarship on knightly dress, armour and display in advance of the release:
