Actually the bette...Looks like a good day out. :-)<br /><br />Actually the better steel armours should gleam and in some cases were gilt and/or silver plated in whole or part, unless your attendants were lazy sods that is. 'Peacock' is a fair description of most knights and nobles certainly.<br /><br />The cheaper iron or poor quality steel 'munition' types would of course look totally different and at best would be a dull blue-grey (except on raised areas and edges), or even 'russeted'. The incidence of rust-spots would be down to the efforts of the owner.<br /><br />More obviously though is that the likelihood of Irish troops being at Bosworth is extremely low.<br /><br />As for the ladies, have you never heard of the 'Monstrous Regiment of Women' c.1558? <br />;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-65512567871341295022014-08-22T19:12:25.990+01:002014-08-22T19:12:25.990+01:00Great photos Ian..might have to have a look there ...Great photos Ian..might have to have a look there next year.DaveDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995593231170018770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-81278512312377229442014-08-22T12:01:22.110+01:002014-08-22T12:01:22.110+01:00What an awesome sight!
