About this book
Spanish Arms and Armour presents a historical and descriptive account of the Royal Armoury of Madrid, with illustrations identified on the title page. The contents divide the subject into periods extending from the fifth century through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to the age of Charles V and the decadence of armour. The illustration list identifies a Milanese brigantine belonging to Charles V and examples of half armour belonging to Philip III.
The armour discussion describes narrow armlets intended for use with sleeves of mail to protect the upper limbs. A quoted description explains how articulated plates defend the outside of the arm from shoulder to hand when worn over mail.
