The Maciejowski Bible (top two pictures as well as the fifth) was a bible commissioned as a gift to the Shah of Persia, and it's the main source of information for what kind of armor and weapons 13th century medieval soldiers had. Although the pictures depict biblical events, the artists drew the warriors as they knew soldiers in their time and area to be adorned. Really interesting how people back then had no idea that weapons technology changed over time.
