 Luxury Real Estate: This is not a replica or a structure reminiscent of another era. This is a bona fide castle that can be traced back to the Crusades and King Richard the Lionhearted. It is located approximately 215 miles south of Paris in the Liomousin region in Haute-Vienne.
The French Ministry of Culture has recognized this property, known as le chateau de Montbrun, as a protected monument since 1947. This historical residence was built in the 11th century and was the property of both England and France during the Hundred Years'War. Aside from the tower being made round during a robust rebuilding period during the 15th century, the last major makeover occurred in the mid-1960s.
However, the dwelling is quite contemporary even with its stone exterior and interior throughout. There is a house chapel, a cinema, and a billiard room along with 15 guestrooms, a library, a music room, plenty of office space and staffing quarters.
There also is a tavern on the grounds as well as that is fit for both kings and queens. |

 The Book of Trades (Das Ständebuch)
The Book of Trades was published in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1568, with text by Hans Sachs (1494–1576) and illustrations by Jost Amman (1539–91). It features detailed woodcut illustrations of various professions, each accompanied by a short poem in rhyming couplets and provides a fascinating insight into the diverse trades and crafts practiced in 16th-century Nuremberg.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is the premier American museum for the display of medieval Arms & Armour. For most of us, getting to this American mecca of medieval artifacts is not something we are able to do at a moments notice. However, that does not prevent us from being able to utilize the resources that the MET has to offer.
One such resource is a series of Thematic Essays that is posted on the Met Museum website. One of these is the same as the title of this article 'The Decoration of Arms and Armour.' There are many more of these essays, and while they are not full research articles, they indeed should give you plenty of inspiration and initial research material to get you started in not only medieval armour research, but in all aspects of artistic expression. |
