EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving, taken from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities Respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812, showcases the intricately detailed suit of armor belonging to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. John of Gaunt (1340-1399) was a prominent figure in English history, serving as Duke of Lancaster, Duke of Aquitaine, and third son of King Edward III. This armor, which dates back to the late 14th century, is a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and technological innovations of the time. The armor features a special shaped cuirass, designed to deflect lances and other sharp weapons. The pass guards on the shoulders are an additional protective measure, shielding the vulnerable areas around the armpits. The helmet, also depicted in the engraving, is a tilt helmet, which could be raised to protect the head during combat. The armor's intricate design and detailed engraving demonstrate the high level of skill and artistry that went into creating such protective garments during this period. The armor's unique features, such as the shaped cuirass and pass guards, were likely innovations that provided a tactical advantage on the battlefield. Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities" was a groundbreaking work, documenting and preserving the history of the English military through the study of its armor and weapons. This engraving is a valuable historical record, providing a glimpse into the armor and weaponry used by one of the most powerful figures of the late medieval period.
