Sword and heater shield.
Joshua Santana:
After reading this thread I am in near agreement with all of you.
I must admit that SCA Sword and Board/Heater Shield combat is fun and looks like fun, though actual documentation is greatly needed.
There is the Poem of the Pell (12th Century) which is the evidence of what Sword and Heater shield probably looked like. I suggest we research this and experiment with the text.
On the other hand, I do see the shield used as a piece of armor (learned this from NHSC) and the movements would be tight to afford maximum protection.

I have a few other photos but my internet is really bad right now :(
Joshua Santana:
Very nice! I presume the image is from the Codex Manesse?
Sir William:
Looks like he did not hold his shield as high as he should have.

Yes, I believe it is.
