Chivalry and coats of arms

443

Christina de Pisan presents her "Book of Military Exploits and Knightly Laws" to Queen Isabella of France

He is worthy of praiseworthy words,
Who is ready to strike and fall!
Helmets and shields crush
With a blow of clubs and swords.
The ranks of the warriors are thinning,
And many horses are rushing about
Not restrained by the bridle.
Who keeps his honor,
Must be obsessed in battle
With one concern -
Smash heads more.
And there is no fear for the brave!
Life in the world is not dear to me:
I don't like to eat, drink and sleep.
I love screaming "At the enemy!"
And listen to the neigh of the horses
(Bertrand de Born (1140-1215) "I love to see how the people ...")

Coats of arms and heraldry. Heraldry is so closely related to the phenomenon of chivalry that one should also mention this before talking about the coats of arms. Who is a knight? In the beginning - one who has a lot of leisure and therefore exercises a lot with weapons, that is, a professional warrior-rider, or a person for whom his wealth allows him to have a horse with all his equestrian equipment and weapons worthy of such a warrior-rider. Since the coat of arms was applied primarily to the shield (and what else could it have been applied to?), It was he who became the main element of heraldry at all times.

Chivalry and coats of arms
You read the poems of the knight and minnesinger Bertrand de Born and it just becomes scary for ... his psyche. However, for the time when he lived, such a vision of the world was the norm for most people, and those who did not share it went to monks and became priests. And like any knight, de Born also had his own coat of arms - an oblique cross in a scarlet field! (From the manuscript "Songs of the Provinces" 1250-1300 years. Padua, Italy. National Library of France, Paris)

It was the knights in the Middle Ages who formed the basis of the European armies. A knightly cavalry strike could decide the outcome of almost any battle, but only if certain circumstances developed for this. That is, the commander of a knightly army (as, indeed, the one who commands armies today) had to think with his head every time he was to fight. He should not have sent knights to the rubble (a Tanks on anti-tank hedgehogs and right through the field under fire!), drive them into the swamp (the same with tanks and infantry!), send them with caution against entrenched archers, and, of course, have enough authority to declare that will execute anyone, regardless of nobility, who is the first to rush to plunder the enemy camp before the trumpet blows three times!




Today we have miniatures from the famous "Manes Codex" as illustrations. Here in this "picture" we see the knight and poet Walfram von Eschenbach (about 1170 - about 1220). On his coat of arms, as well as as a cleinode, there are two cleavers for chopping meat

It is clear that professional warriors, no matter how much they train, in the intervals between wars, could well get bored and become a serious burden for both the ruler and the church. And what was the way out of this situation? Of course, a kind of "moral code" and "set of knightly rules", which at least nominally would instruct the knights on the right path. Well, any need is satisfied in one way or another. So this topic aroused the most keen interest among such famous writers and thinkers of that time as Raymond Llull, Honore Bonet and even the woman Christine de Pisan.


A copy of the Codex of Manes from Cesky Krumlov Castle. It is clear that it is under glass, and you will not flip through it if you want to. But it's good that all the illustrations are digitized today.

As for Raymond Llull (between 1232 and 1315), he was such an interesting figure that he needed to write a separate article about him. In the meantime, in a nutshell, we can say about him that he was from Aragon, of noble blood, sang the heroic deeds of knights in poetry, wrote about love, and all this in the style characteristic of the troubadours of southern France. He was a womanizer and often unfaithful to his wife, but only until he saw Christ crucified in a dream and considered it a sign sent to him so that he would change his life. And he changed it, first of all in 1275 by writing a treatise "The Book of the Knightly Order", which became the best textbook "on knightly morality", so that it was translated into many languages. He also invented the "first computer" (but this also needs to be discussed separately and in detail!), And ended his life in Tunisia, where he openly preached Christianity and was stoned to death.


Heinrich von Tittingen (years of life unknown). There is a peasant sickle on the coat of arms. There are two sickles on the helmet as helmet decorations!

Cristina de Pisan (between 1364 and 1430), who studied under Honore Bonet (at least he lived in 1380), who in 1408-1409 wrote the “Book of Military Feats and Knightly Laws”, made no less for the development of the spiritual component of chivalry. ”, In which she considered, for example, the ethics of using poisoned arrows by Christians or the question of saving the souls of soldiers who died without a priest's parting words. And some of the issues she is considering are amazing. For example, something like "Can a madman legally be a prisoner?" Her negative answer to this question shows us such a high level of humanism - it's hard to believe that a person of that time showed it.


And here we already see the helmet itself on the shield, along with its kleinod. Belonged to Minnesinger Litschauer

It is clear that no books, as well as codes, can change a person if he wants to drink and eat, or, say, it will be beneficial for him to rob his neighbor by force, for which he will also have the opportunity. And nevertheless, the striving for the high and pure, serving God, serving the Beautiful Lady, protecting the disadvantaged and the poor - all this, as a direct path to the Kingdom of Heaven, visited many knights and became for them the moral ideal to which they should strive. Well, heraldry ... heraldry helped them along the way. After all, the coat of arms was usually given to a knight for some noble, highly moral act, and for low and unworthy he was punished, and the punishment was reflected in his coat of arms. For example, the knight Jean de Aven insulted his mother, and by the royal order in his coat of arms, the proud lion lost his tongue and claws! So heraldry once again helped the knights "to be good", which, of course, was important in the time of loose morals, unrestrained violence and inexorable cruelty.


Bartel Regenbogen (1250-1320). On the coat of arms there is a hammer, a dragon and pincers! And what does it all mean?

It was the knightly service that left an extremely noticeable mark in heraldry, consisting of many heraldic symbols, which were used as items of the same knightly equipment. First of all, perhaps, the shield itself became such an object, because coats of arms are known without any details, that is, just shields of some one color. In addition, on the shield it was possible to depict another shield and even several shields, which was quite allowed by the rules of heraldry.


One shield on the other. Coat of arms of the city of Utrecht

Then a helmet was depicted on the shield. It could be just a helmet, but more often a helmet with lush helmet decorations. The helmet also became one of the most important external elements of the coat of arms. As a rule, they are crowned with a coat of arms, and by the shape of the helmet they judge the rank of the coat of arms. There is such an emblem as the gar-de-bra - but this is nothing more than an elbow pad. Champhron - a forehead for a knight's horse, fell into the number of heraldic symbols, as well as aventail - a chain mail cover for the neck, and lambel - a "tournament collar". Even such a very specific detail as the head of the scabbard was used in heraldry. By the way, the elbow pad (another name "kute") can be seen in the coat of arms of Lord Fitzwater, the aventail in the coat of arms of Lord Montague, and the sword and crown in the coat of arms of Joan of Arc, granted to her and her descendants by King Charles VII. By the way, crossed swords are constantly found in coats of arms. For example, the town of Abensberg in Bavaria, two crossed swords in the coat of arms were granted for helping the allies in the war against Napoleon!

But in general, probably, there were no such objects and objects surrounding the knights at that time, which would not have been used as emblems for identification. Swords, axes, clubs, bows, arrows - all of this was drawn in a wide variety of variations. But the most popular emblem, of course, was the cross, and the simplest one was the emblem of the knights who went to liberate the Holy Sepulcher in Palestine. However, a waterskin was also a popular emblem among the army of Christ in memory of the thirst that the knights constantly experienced there! By the way, some experts believe that there are 30 crosses used in heraldry, others - that 50, but some zealous scientist found that there are ... (I hope you are all sitting) 450 !!! There is a cross "clawed", "cross-tau", wedge-shaped, lily-shaped, clover-leaved, the well-known "Maltese cross", and also "mill" ... well, probably enough to list them. Let's take a better look at them, there will clearly be more sense from this.


The thirty most famous crosses in heraldry are: 1. Greek; 2. Double, also called patriarchal, archbishop and Hungarian; 3. Lorraine - the emblem of the Duchy of Lorraine in the middle of the 4th century; 5. Papal - not found on the coats of arms of the popes, but got its name by analogy with the patriarchal cross in the 1496th century; 6. Cross of the Kingdom of Jerusalem - the red Jerusalem cross was a symbol of the Order of St. Spirit, founded in 7; 8. Cross from the coat of arms of the Manfredi family - a rare form of the cross; 9. Cross with ball ends; 10. Shank, the beams of which end with stylized images of crow's feet; 11. Anchor; 12. One of the varieties of the anchor cross; 1158. Maltese - eight-pointed cross of the Knights Templar; 13. Lily cross with lily flower-shaped endings - belonged to the Spanish knightly order of Calatrava, founded in 14; 15. Symbol of the Spanish knightly order of Alcantara; 1095. Cross of St. Jacob - a symbol of the Spanish knightly order of Saint Jacob, founded by King Ramiro II of Aragon; 16. Cross of St. Anthony - a blue cross on black cloaks was worn by members of the Order of St. Anthony, founded in 17 (the cross of St. Anthony was also one of the emblems of the Knights Templar); 18. Martyr's Cross of St. Paul; 19. Wedge; 20. Wicker; 21. Cross in a halo - a Celtic cross, popular in Ireland in the Middle Ages; 22. The simple black cross of St. Mary of Teutonic is the most famous image of the cross; 23. Faceted; 24. Rare cross with crosshairs in the form of bird's heads; 25. Nodal; 26. An oblique cross, depending on the color, could symbolize different saints: gold - the first British Great Martyr St. Alban, white or blue - St. Andrew, black - St. Osmund, red - St. Patrick; 27. Fork-shaped; 28. Toe cross of the most common form; 29. Supporting, or arched cross; 30. Shadow (outline) Maltese cross; XNUMX. Christmas tree - this form of the cross was very popular in Finland; XNUMX. Eight-pointed Orthodox, or Russian cross.



Schenck von Limburg was clearly a great fashionist and understood a lot about the beauty of a knight's outfit: the surcoat on it is green with an embroidered letter in white, the horse blanket has a completely different pattern, different from the one on surcoat, which, in general, is atypical, but quite acceptable ; on the coat of arms there are three tops of six-feathers, on the helmet there are horns decorated with peacock feathers. It is clear that the lady depicted in the same illustration, most likely, could not resist him ...

          The most interesting thing is that something remained. The same Pyzhikov, a real researcher, dug up a lot of things, and for this you need to know the places where all this is. Old archives are still preserved. Shpakovsky does not work with archives, but only with secondary literature and textbooks, but this does not mean that there is nothing left.

            It is a pity that Pyzhikov left so early, otherwise he would have spoiled a lot of blood for the official historians.
            All the same, I think that is not left. If there is something in the Vatican. Although there should be a lot of them. Thanks to the Novgorod birch bark letters, we know that there was practically universal literacy, at least in the cities, and that the Russian people are less talented than the Western people?

                    You will not deny that in the Middle Ages there were enough literate people in Russia. Since the XI-XII centuries, as we know from the chronicles, there were active trade relations, even if the same Novgorod, which means there should have been trade agreements, incl. and international. All Veche decisions must be documented. Executive decisions. Interstate agreements. Columns (pedigrees).
                    And if you have read imported fiction, then it is logical to assume that in Russia someone also tried himself in this role of a writer.
                    I'm just about the fact that these documents do not exist. Perhaps there is something in the Vatican with regards to Russia. That's all.

                        As for the city's medieval archives, those have not survived, including in the Vatican, therefore, get acquainted with the veche protocols,
                        if any were drawn up, it is not possible.
                        But extensive information, for example, about the Novgorod internal political structure, can be provided by documents of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries connected with the activities of German merchants in Novgorod.
                        The stay of the Germans in Novgorod was accompanied by inevitable conflicts on the basis of trade disputes or simply domestic quarrels. In such cases, German merchants were forced to turn to the Novgorod authorities, sue their offenders, and report the progress and results of the proceedings to the Hanseatic cities that were responsible for the Novgorod direction of trade. These messages were later discussed at the congresses of the Hanseatic cities, and the decisions were carefully recorded and recorded. In turn, the authorities of the Hanseatic cities often wrote to the Novgorod authorities or to the German merchants who were there to resolve certain issues.
                        These documents were published as early as the XNUMXth - early XNUMXth centuries. in a number of multivolume series.
                        And you don't need to go to the Vatican. Everything is much closer.

              Yanin discovered, researched and described a number of letters written in the same handwriting at the same time, but for different reasons and on behalf of different people. In his opinion, this indicates that there were special scribes in Novgorod. That is, the need for literacy was higher than her level. Among Novgorodians there were not only many illiterates, but also many who needed literacy without being literate. And the number of such people was sufficient to justify the maintenance of special clerks.

                      I don't know, I'm not sure.
                      Alexander categorically refuses to state his point of view on almost any issue, and if this happens, then only "common sense" and an inner conviction on the verge of an irrational belief in one's righteousness are used to substantiate this point of view. He is offended by proposals to supplement the baggage of historical knowledge by reading the relevant literature.
                      As for Pyzhikov, after getting acquainted with some of his concepts, voiced by him on YouTube (by the way, before I met his videos, I did not know who it was, I had not heard anything about him), I quickly found so many manipulations in them, and, often and outright lies, so many distortions that, if I were familiar with the topic of his reasoning a little more superficially, I might not have noticed that I immediately put him in the top five freaks from history in my rating list. And he was very surprised to learn that this is indeed a doctor of historical sciences, who received this title back in the USSR.
                      It would be possible to make out here any of his creations, but none of the admirers of his work either does not want or is unable to present his thoughts in a thesis. And to waste time listening to hour-long lectures, in which there is not a word of truth, just in order to throw ants in the pants of several of his followers like Bar, I'm just sorry, especially since most of the colleagues present with Pyzhikov's works are not familiar and it will be elementary for them boring.

                I already wrote to you that in heraldry, the image of the crescent is not associated with Islam. In medieval emblems (os. When associated with a star) it is a symbolic image of paradise. The crescent moon marks the font in which the Church, baptized into Christ, is clothed in Him, the Sun of righteousness. It is called that: Cradle of Bethlehem, who received the Infant Christ; the Eucharistic cup, in which is the Body of Christ; church ship, led by the Feedman Christ; anchor of hope, gift of the cross from Christ; an ancient serpent trampled under the Cross and placed as an enemy of God at the feet of Christ. On the heads of the warriors are knightly helmets. Above them is a banner with the image of the Cradle of Bethlehem, what else is needed? Is it clear to your intellect? If not, read the series of articles on heraldry, little by little it may be possible to enlighten.

                  Show me these Christian banners with a crescent moon? Yes, you can not show. When there is a war, you need to clearly identify your own and foes, if you put an extraneous symbol on the banner, you can get confused in battle who is who. So the cross against the crescent, that's right. The Christian army must first of all have symbols cross, perhaps a crescent, and Muslims should go into battle with the symbol of only the crescent that we see.

                      this is according to your chronology. However, the solar and lunar symbolism, which was in the east among the Zoroastrians and Christians / Nestorians and Arians, was present in the pre-Islamic times among the Mongols. So the symbol of a crescent moon without a cross cannot be Christian.

                      Why did you place these shields here? You wanted to prove here that these are shields of Christian knights? But it must be proved that the shields belonged to the Christians.
                      Previously, Christianity was Arian, Nestorian, and what kind of symbolism there was is not very well known, but maybe these are generally shields of the Old Believers, i.e. not Christians, there are no crosses, or maybe these shields belong to Muslims, but an ignoramus?

                        That is, most likely, the legend about one of the kings of the Huns-Rus, which became the source of inspiration for the German poets of the 13th century. also found a dedicated audience in Britain. Actually, in the legend about "Dietrich of Berne" it is indicated that only Etzel-Attila and his wife Helkha planted and overthrew kings in Europe at their own will, so that no one disputed the power of the Hun-Rus.

                        And this is the value of the film, that it shows the identity of the Sarmatians and the Rus, and says simply and without fuss that this is the opinion of the Anglo-Saxon cultural community

True, because of the Russian hospitality, they did not return home. The most famous hangouts and booguts are the Battle of the Neva, the Battle on the Ice. Sometimes they (knights) were invited to the kingdom, but the dear ones died. Periodically already at the "Kremlin get-together".

          no, not so in Russia and for centuries there were coats of arms and it did not come from there, but the word
          -knight, as it is very similar to the distorted _rus_. And I do not believe in the "official" etymology, the fasmer has already pierced in many words.
          The OI does not at all consider the history of the Slavs in Germany and the Danubian Slavs. And there was a lot of things, including chivalry, and the Cossacks, even according to the OI, called themselves knights.
          Your Russophobic story is already bored, especially against the background of the West's constant hostility to Russia, but such articles about the West cause only a feeling of rejection, and your enthusiastic comments too.

              in these "open doors" knights and their armor ALWAYS belong to Western civilization. It is not possible to find Russian, Mongolian, Tartar knights.
              But this does not mean that what the oishniks write is true. For example, it is known that there were no copper mines in Russia and all copper was imported, but this is not true. I found a mention that the old Tula iron mines also contained copper ore. Geologists say this, but historians, as usual, do not know.

                  Although the very word
                  -copper is a Russian word even for fasmer. Well, from the word
                  -copper comes the word -metal, although the word metal is no longer Russian.
                  This is OI.
                  Here is an article, so as not to raise academic publications, they say there that
                  The extraction of non-ferrous metals on the territory of Russia was practically absent until the XNUMXth century.

                        In 1989, an archaeological expedition of the Academy of Sciences of Russia led by Professor E.N. Chernykha studied numerous ancient settlements of miners in the Kargalinskaya steppe (Orenburg region), dating back to the 500th-XNUMXnd millennia BC. The total surface area with traces of old mine workings is about XNUMX square kilometers. During the excavations, miners' dwellings, numerous casting molds, remains of ore and slag, stone and copper tools, as well as other items, indicating that the Kargalinskaya steppe was one of the largest mining and metallurgical centers of antiquity, were discovered.

                        It was about the lies of historians who claimed that in Russia there were mines with iron and copper. In the Tula region, where iron production was ALWAYS developed, iron itself was produced from ore, and copper could be obtained from iron ore mining waste - pyrites. there is information that copper ores were mined in the Orenbursk region.
                        Here we can say so. Academic science reacted to the question of finding ores in ancient Russia and made the wrong conclusions. There was not only ores, but there was the production of metals, and therefore products. And therefore all these "Norman" swords become Russian swords.
                        And without even examining the question that the same Varangians from Vagria and Ryugen are essentially Slavic tribes.
                        As for knightly armor, here it is: it is necessary to conduct a clear investigation of all the armor in our museums, it seems that one can find inscriptions on them both in Cyrillic and Arabic. What our current Russophobic science does not allow us to do.

                        Well, you are lying like a typical Russophobe, or rather, you are juggling the facts. Firstly, reading the same inscriptions on the Jericho cap says that at least in Russia Arabic speech and writing were in use, which is denied by the OI, which states that everything was imported, for a reason " low quality iron "mined in Russia. But this is not the case in the Tula region, there were quite themselves ores with good iron content and quality, as well as pyrites from which it was possible to extract copper, and this is a fact.

                    this is not enough, but where is the Russian knightly armor in museums, is it there, or is it only German? I don't see Russian armor in museums.

                    There were three periods of the genesis of armor in Europe: the era of chain mail, until 1250, when the armor of Russian soldiers and knights of Europe differed only in the helmet and wearing surcoat, the era of mixed chain-plate armor - there are a lot of armor of this time both in the Armory and Art. the museum and the Hermitage, and the differences from the western ones are again the helmet, up to 1400. Finally, the era of "all-metal armor" - 1410 - 1700. This is armor. We did not have this period, since we possessed the skills of archery from a horse, and the knights did not. And we fought with nomads all the time, but they didn't. Therefore, the armor in our museums is only "from there". But chain mail and helmets, and bakhters, and - everything is there ...

                      And about chivalry with its coats of arms and tournaments in Russia ... Here, I think, Vlad is right. A knight is not just a heavily armed horseman with a spear, it is a phenomenon that contains a whole complex of necessary components - military, economic, social, ethical, etc.
                      Yes, there was heavy cavalry in Russia, and even by the end of the XIV century. she was, according to some researchers, heavier than knightly. But to call the Russian vigilantes and boyars knights personally, I can’t dare.
                      First of all, the knight is the landowner. And not just a landowner, but a hereditary landowner. Hence, by the way, the need to transfer the coat of arms by inheritance, the preservation of its main details from generation to generation. And this main condition was absent in Russia until the XNUMXth century, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately led to a total orientation of military equipment in view of its cheapness.
                      They did not hear about the code of knightly conduct in Russia, not that they adhere to it. Our ancestors were not up to it. Too harsh and poor living conditions (in terms of climate, first of all) and too many problems with steppe neighbors.

                      Very simplistic. The differences are still quite noticeable.
                      Before the Mongols.
                      Short chain mail predominates among Russian soldiers. No long sleeves or hoods. There were highways. Called nagavits
                      Lamellar armor was and apparently were somewhat wider than in Western Europe.
                      I have already posted this picture. Domash's appearance is very different from the knights. Although the picture is of course relative. This is 1242


                      The 14th century, our brigantines coexist with other armor, including the classic scaly and lamellar ones. We do not have continuous armor protection of arms and legs. These are again notable differences.

                        There are finds of masks separately from helmets in the Russian cities of those who died from the Mongol invasion - Izyaslavl and Serensk. They are stylistically different from nomadic ones.
                        Vasin reconstructed the mask from Iziaslavl for some reason with a scaly aventail.
                        Although all the edges of the mask are broken off.

                      How was chain mail made before 1250 and from what material? From the end of the 15th century, it will be of high quality. In 1390, Germany learned how to make wire using a water mill, and from the second half of the 15th century, blast furnaces appeared in Europe. It turns out that armor was easier to make before 1250.

                        Hence, a short plot of the novel.
                        End of the eighteenth century. The very young Otto von Igelschneutzchen, from an old noble family of Northern Pomerania, enters to serve as a fenric in the army of Frederick the Great. Years of training, classes, love affairs. By the turn of the century, he is already a colonel, and serves in the Russian guard. It was here that his personal acquaintance with the young Queen Louise took place. A young cheerful colonel, in a luxurious cocked hat, with an esponon and impeccably whipped curls, immediately charms the monarch's wife, and he himself is glad to drown in the Queen's huge blue eyes ... Gradually, a love triangle grows - Louise, Igelschneutzchen, the unsuspecting Friedrich Wilhelm III. 1806, the war with Napoleon begins. The triangle becomes a square - Alexander I joins. Despite all the advice and efforts of Igelschneitskin, the Prussian army suffers shameful defeats. Louise (separately from Friedrich-Wilhelm) saves herself along the Curonian Spit - to Memel. Igelschneitskin is nearby, and in a fierce battle, protecting the queen, personally destroys a whole platoon of French hussars. Then he gets into the Russian army, tries to give advice to Bennigsen, but he does not listen to him, and loses the battle at Friedland.
                        Meeting in Tilsit. Napoleon joins the love square, and the square is no longer a square, but a pentagram.
                        In general, the whole novel is adventures - chases - battles - love trash and frenzy.
                        Igelschneitskhen is in the center of the action, swinging his sword and not only the sword, right and left. Well, the queen dies, everyone suffers ... Igelschneitskin goes to Russia to seek the truth, and then fights Napoleon in a partisan detachment under the command of Benckendorff, the future chief of gendarmes, with whom in 1814 (already the third volume of the novel) liberates the Netherlands from power Corsican.
                        At the end of the novel, the heroic Igelschneitskin, at the head of the Prussian column, enters the defeated Paris ... soldier

          Everything was. Even tournaments ...

          Here Vyacheslav Olegovich, you get up a fine line, what is considered Rus?
          So, for example, being in the western limits, our princes and their entourage did not shy away from knightly amusements. Princes from Rugov or Rus' are often mentioned in the chronicles of tournaments of those years. There were also fun on the lists in Russia, but whether they should be considered knightly tournaments is an open question. I would not, for example.
          But if you take Russia in a volumetric sense. For example, at different stages of its existence, it included areas from the traditional knightly culture. Livonia, Courland, the western lands of Belarus, Ukraine, Polish lands, etc. For you, the Ostezian Germans and Polish lords, whose ancestors with coats of arms on their shields converged in tournaments and performed dressed brothers of knightly orders, honestly and did not really serve the Ruhr kings, emperors and general secretaries. Quite a few even today heralds pull the strap on the earth, which for many centuries remains the only fatherland. I personally know several people who have been awarded the coats of arms by Polish or Czech rabbits or by the German emperor.
          The rest of the "noblemen" who have their own personal coats of arms can generally boast of “their salary by his (or her“ majesty ”) at a much later time of duels!
          Others in the mass are the owners of "a finger on the floor, door and ceiling" either bought and heraldically faithful or by themselves (like me) invented and, accordingly, not faithful.
          Now let's get back to the images on the shields. They were known in Russia, but these are still trends of Eastern traditions, and not the rules of the heraldic school of the West.
          And last but not least, in Russia for a long time one of the solutions to civil law issues remained a judicial duel. There were a lot of their last within our borders, but to present this event as a knightly tournament?
          So we will assume that the fashion for knightly duels has nevertheless reached Russia, but it has not received a systematic and organizationally correct character. And it was too late for chivalry, the 17th century was in the yard.

        In Russia there were no knights or coats of arms.

        Did not have. In reality, there have never been knights (although there has been heavy cavalry since the time of Yaroslav the Wise at least), and the coats of arms appeared later than everyone else - already, practically, in the New Time.
        So what? Was it worse for people from this?
        Or, for you, knights and coats of arms are a sign of advanced development, such that you just can't do without them? laughing
        Calm down, don't worry like that. There were no knights in Russia because they were not needed. They also coped with vigilantes, boyars. It was too expensive a pleasure - knights. Give everyone land, castle, and at any moment he can ... not respond to the call or say "I'm tired" and throw home from the war.
        And there were no knights - there were no their coats of arms. Why coats of arms without knights?
        Coats of arms of cities? They appear only in the XNUMXth century, if my memory serves me right.
        Before that, there were only emblems, signs, tamgas, etc. Need to explain the difference? With the change of the ruler in the city, its symbolism on the seals in official documents also changed. These emblems were not inherited and were not limited by strict rules on how to compose and depict them.
        Quote: Bar1
        Pyzhikov, a real researcher, dug up a lot of things, and for this you need to know the places where all this is

        Basically, everything that Pyzhikov "dug up", he dug either in his own head, or a meter lower. Personally, I have no desire to "know" these places. Pyzhikov is an inventor and a dreamer, by the way, just like the author of the article, who at one time was engaged in nothing more than the history of the CPSU ... But, unlike Shpakovsky, he turned out to be completely devoid of conscience and scientific cleanliness, forged into pseudo-history and began to carry unsubstantiated, unconfirmed blizzard. Of all the pseudo-historical fraternity, this type is perhaps the only one who has a specialized historical education and an academic degree (from those known to me, in any case), such an exception, usually people with a technical education are engaged in pseudo-history in our country, not necessarily even a higher one, but here a whole Doctor of Historical Sciences. The family has its black sheep, the more disgusting were his far-fetched attempts to make money by distorting history.

        Vyacheslav Olegovich, about peasant origin, perhaps, but how did you become a nobleman? Perhaps he saved his lord, or as the Germans called them, and he granted him knightly spurs. Once in childhood I watched a film, where the main character was in the position of an adopted son of some knight. His benefactor perished, and the king granted him a knighthood. I don't remember the film at all, but I remember this end.
        Perhaps: "Crusaders"?

They took the boy to the castle (strong and strong). Became the second (I emphasize the second) squire. The first is noble. In battle, the noble drifted. And the second saved the senor! A worthy example, and the king granted her knighthood right on the battlefield. Without land ... But ... I started to fight in tournaments, money appeared. They began to invite to the castles ...

            No letter "Zhy". The eagle is not ours - the German one without paws. Got it on occasion, did not know where to apply. So I did it according to my mood. The inscription, replaced by the Latin "our hut", the wife insisted. When I screwed it on, I gasped, but I was too lazy to shoot and it still hangs.

                    Hello Anton. hi Our entire base is laid out in the same way, it costs four years and does not "crumble". I don’t know the technology, but I can find out if necessary. I only know that the "tiles" were put on glue, because they are heavy and at least two centimeters thick.

    On February 28, 1765, the teacher of Tsarevich Pavel Petrovich, Semyon Poroshin, writes the following:
    I have read to His Highness Vertotov the Story of the Order of the Knights of Malta. Then he deigned to amuse himself, and having tied the admiral's flag to his cavalry, to present himself as a cavalier of Malta.
    One day. And how he influenced the fate of Paul! Apparently, if you really want something, dreams come true. Paul in 1798 became the Grand Master of the Order of Malta. In Russia, the Order of St. John of Jerusalem was introduced, with which the emperor generously rewarded those close to him.

    The Maltese cross was featured on many symbols of the Pavlovian era, including the blades of officers' espontons. soldier

            Minestrel (English minstrel, French ménestrier from Latin ministerialis - "servant") - 1) the general name of a poet-musician (including female), a professional singer of the Middle Ages (from the 12th century) and the early Renaissance, who earned singing and playing musical instruments from memory. Because of the oral nature of the minstrels' musical creativity, the surviving musical manuscripts of their works are few; modern reconstructions of the culture and everyday life of minstrels are based mainly on literary and iconographic evidence. See Troubadours, Truvers, Minnesingers; 2) the medieval poet-singer in the romantic literature of the 3th century; XNUMX) since the XX century - poets-musicians and performers of the author's song (professionals or amateurs) in the environment of the Tolkien fandom, including role-playing games.
