(Osprey Men at Arms, 154)

by David Nicolle, Angus McBride

This book addresses the historical setting for the real King Arthur. It presents the time period we re-create and highlights the differences between the Romano-Britains, Welsh, Irish, Picts, and Saxons both in text and color plates. It contains line drawings of different blades used by the Irish of our time period (and one of the few books that address that topic). This book would be worth having for the illustrations by Angus McBride alone.
