Kel's First Rule Illustrated
Carl Pyrdum at Got Medieval posted a great image this week. It's a marginal illustration from Pierpont Morgan G24, a Flemish copy of The Vows of the Peacock from circa 1350.
Does this picture look sort of familiar to anyone else? The nifty thing is that it predates Fiore by a good fifty years and Talhoffer by more than a century.
Ever had one of those moments when you were so intent on getting the fancy footwork right that you forgot the not-getting-hit part? That's me on the left.
