Well yes but You should remember that those are only paintings which are only painters adaptation :)

Piotrus,

you're right about the artist rendition. it's similar to the paintings of napolean in combat. :)

Some photos feels kind of renaissance to me. The middle age was earlier, the
renaissance started already under the early 14th century in Italy. But it came
to Sweden first during early 16th century, when it had almost ended already.
So it depends on the country as well of course.

Yeah I know that middle ages end Around 1456 but those close combat battles looks still cool..

Here is more about Grunwald

And here is reenactment of Grunwald battle form 2003 (every year there is one and i.e. 2 years ago battle was so fierce that instead of Poles, Teutonick Knights won. Last year outcome was 2 fingers and 1 eye lost, multiple broken ribs, broken hand, and a lot of minor cuts ;-) )

Is that a MkII sword ? I thought it entered into service a bit later ? ;)

BTW, I am sure RSK will post some paintings of Albanians murdering Serbs in 1368 or so :cantbeli:

I live in the southern tip of Sweden and I have as close there as I have to
the medieval events in Sweden, as on the island of Gotland and so forth,
could just as well check out Grunwald 2004, perhaps perhaps, but it´s seems
interesting, beer, Polish hookers and a weeks vacation in one of your hospitals.

Roncesvalles battle, may be some ancestor of mine were there. Charlemagne told some lies to his poets, they wrote about a big muslim army, but they were far from Roncesvalles, it was only an ambush of basques tribes, these stingy francs didn´t want to pay taxes in the Adouenne, p-) Ahh, the good old times. There was an old bridge near Leon, which was shut by a knight called Suero de Quiñones, he said everybody wanting to cross the bridge had to fight with him, so the biggest tournement of that time was made, it seems they were boring because there wasn´t Champions League. rofl

Well it depends Who You were - if You were a nobel knight it wasnt that bad - Knights were captured as prisoners of war for ransom.
