Shields were borne by chivalrous knights, vikings, mercenaries, and many others who fought the wars of early times. During the Medieval Period, the motif was an indication of origin and wealth. These decorative hanging wall shields depict a range of styles and regions that replicate many of the originals. They’ll complement a battle-ready sword and armor collection in well-crafted detail.
The Late Middle Ages were the period of the late Renaissance 1300-1500, Around 1300, centuries of European prosperity and growth stopped. Famines and plagues reduced the population of Europe perhaps by half. Along with reducing population came fear, social unrest and war. Serious risings against the ruling classes occurred in Britain and France, France descended into an appalling period of brutality and civil war in the fourteenth century, religious upheavals and disagreements throughout Europe frequently resulted in bloodthirsty power struggles. In Britain the War of The Roses was fought through thirty years of the fifteenth century causing a decline in British influence.
