Abstract

The recent redisplay of the entrance floor of the White Tower with a display about the history of the Horse Armoury or ‘Line of Kings’, the oldest museum display in Britain, has provided an opportunity to research the roles individual armours played in the changing displays. By the use of con-cordances of the historical collection of the Tower Armouries derived from the museum’s archives, it is possible to identify exactly which armour was where and when, giving a new insight onto the core of the national collection and showing how the armours lost and regained their identities.
