About this product
About this collection

The 15th century represents the fullest development of horse armour — the complete bard that armoured destrier and rider alike was achieved in this period. These rare survivals provide primary visual reference for the most comprehensively armoured cavalry in history.
Why it matters
15th-century horse armour is among the rarest and most significant material in any arms collection — the full bard of the late medieval destrier represents one of the most ambitious protective solutions in the history of personal protection.
