The Middle Ages (31) : Crusader

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

A crusader was a knight specially selected to fight in one of the crusades.

The medieval crusades were a series of religious wars, blessed by the pope and the catholic church, with the main goal of restoring christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem.

Photographed at medieval festival of castle Sterckshof (Deurne, Belgium).

A well polished all-over-head-helmet,
proof of a clean and tidy Crusader.
-- No doubt, if one looks at this perfect
picture.
Cheers - A.

This image (and all your previous ones) provides such a great insight of how life was so many years ago ... fantastic this armour - and one can imagine how uncomfortable it was to wear it. A great portrait of this crusader, Mark !!
best wishes for your Sunday,

Wars in the name of god - who can think of bigger hypocrisy? These eyes leave no doubts.
Greatly captured. Bw, Viola
