Do you have any images of medieval Boyars? I saw a few depictions of them and they were wearing these totally rad facemasks as part of their panoply.

Here's a collection of 17th - 20th century uniforms by the painter Richard Knötel. It focusses on the German states of the 18th century, but it also features British, French, Russian and even American uniforms.

Earliest armour was the best and most aesthetic. It will never be again.

what's up with the lizard?

> Grappling Lizard
wtf....

Allegedly a domesticated monitor lizard was used to scale the fortress walls during the Battle of Sinhagad.

Normans are the craziest fuckers to me
Converted Christian Viking knights who were pretty good at war and conquered Sicily and southern Italy, and were at the forefront of the Crusades
They conquered most the British Isles and set a precedent for all future English monarchs
Oh and mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire

crazy shit
