EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the 12th century, a time of chivalry, courage, and crusades. The Tower of London, an iconic fortress steeped in history, serves as the backdrop for this Norman Crusader and his steed, both meticulously adorned in armor. The Crusader, a man of valor, sits tall and proud on his horse, his chainmail suit glinting in the sunlight. His sword, a symbol of power and protection, rests at his side, ready for action. The Horse Armoury of the Tower of London, where this scene unfolds, was a vital component of the castle's defensive strategy. Horses and their riders played a significant role in medieval warfare, and the protection of these valuable assets was essential. The intricately designed armor, with its overlapping plates and intricate details, not only protected the horse but also intimidated the enemy. The Crusaders, a formidable force during the Middle Ages, embarked on missions to reclaim the Holy Land from the Muslims. Their military prowess and advanced weaponry, including armor for both men and horses, played a crucial role in their successes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that went into preparing for battle during the 12th century. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich history of the Tower of London and the pivotal role it played in medieval military strategy. It serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who donned this armor and rode into battle, their horses as steadfast companions in their quest for victory.
