Hai defeats the Israelites |
Achan confesses |
Achan is punished |
|
The city of Hai successfully drives off the attacking
Israelites. Details show: 1
-documented evidence of the
existence and use of blackened chainmaille
(his chainmaille is clearly blackened in comparison to everyone
else in the battle scene.): We stress this point as
there has been much debate, mostly negative, on discussion forums
regarding the period-correctness and authenticity of blackened armour, and
of blackened chainmaille in particular. Since the Maciejowski Bible
is considered the definitive reference, this image should now
settle that debate!, 2 -a
war-club and battle-axe,
3 -a dagger, 4
-a
Glaive (a halberd-like weapon), 5 -soldier dressed in a quilted-leather
jerkin with a scalloped bottom on top of a quilted-leather coat, also a
leather gorget (neck protection). Also, you can see the padded
arming-cap under the helm, 6 -a
Cervelliere (steel skull-cap),
7 -a leather
strap used for carrying a shield, 8 -another example of a
sword-belt,
9 -an Arbalestier (crossbowman) and his
Arbalest (crossbow),
10 -helm with an
arming-cap showing underneath, 11 -example of a soldier wearing a
quilted-leather jerkin with short, scalloped sleeves over his chainmaille,
yet under his surcoat, 12 -Good example of the use of
Heraldry and
heraldic flags as identification during battle, 13
- Chainmaille coif with
an attached Camail, 14 -A castle with a Portcullised gate,
15 -Hilt of a
cruciform-style battle sword. |
