    I notice that at least one of the murals has a man with a curved sword similar to the Turkish one, even though his plate armour is similar to the rest of western Europe.

    Most of the arnour that looks similar to other European countries, although the shields look different in shape. I thought that when full plate armour came in, shields stopped being used, but that was clearly not so.

    Keep up the good work. With something like arnmour that changed throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it is nice to see clearly dated pictures to show precisely what they were wearing.
