Armourers’ Tools in England

Abstract

Little literature on the specialist tools of armourers exists, and the principal account is now over a century old. This paper introduces a new, unpublished account of the equipment of the English royal armour workshop in the fourteenth century which provides detailed information about the craft of the armourer in the early phase of plate armour, and illustrates the continuity in the craft in the succeeding centuries.
