It is fascinating. Thanks for posting this.

I am curious though about what looks like the trunk of a young tree that has been chewed down by a beaver in the kit of the 1485 Yorkist man-at-arms, Battle of Bosworth.

Sharpened stakes to defend against cavalry.

It's actually the longbowman at Agincourt (the caption is underneath not above the pic). You may recall that the English archers had the French cavalry's number that day.
