Hey all, your opinions gentle sirs and ladies.
Would the Iberian Mace from A&A fit in well with an Agincourt era kit? I haven't really surveyed the period art for similar maces, so maybe everyone has some suggestions. Would a simple wood hafted mace such as this be readily available in 1415 or would the later all steel gothic styles be more appropriate?
I'm thinking that a somewhat old school design such as this still might be found on the field in 1415 probably in the hands of a less wealthy knight or yeoman or more probably an archer, what say you?
