Synopsis
A detailed study of the arms and armour of the nomads of the Great Steppe in the 12th to 14th centuries, at the time of the Mongol expansion. The evidence and sources are described, weapon by weapon: defensive arms (body armour and soft quilted armour, helmets, shields) and offensive arms (sabres, swords, spears, axes, maces, bows and arrows), war machines, explosive and chemical weapons, horse armour and harness. Finally there is a review of the late Medieval warriors of the Great Steppe.
