The king and fashion – Comments on discoveries of cup heel spurs throughout Central Europe, from the second half of the 15th century
Über diese Publikation
Around the middle of the 15th century a very interesting group of spurs appeared in Europe. The shape of preserved specimens, as well as their decoration, makes them some of the most attractive Gothic creations in the realm of arms and equipment of the medieval knight. Several dozen of these artefacts have reached European museums, in various states of preservation mostly dependent on their provenance. This is because they were found during archaeological excavations, or accidentally during earthworks. Several of them, doubtless the most magnificent ones, were retained in armouries and collections.
