		<description><![CDATA[Xiphos, an ancient Greek weapon, was carried by the powerful Spartans for use during close combat. The sword is double-edged and measures approximately 50-60 cm long. Later in history the Spartans opted for shorter blades, as the xiphos was used only after the spear or javelin was cast aside. Few examples of the xiphos survived [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Spartan helmet is perhaps one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Greek warriors. For the most part, Spartan warriors dressed in a similar manner to other Greeks and used the same hoplite equipment. The Spartans distinguished themselves by wearing crimson tunics and cloaks, and by maintaining the tradition of long hair long after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A sturdy dagger that could catch an opponent’s sword and hold it fast was known as a sword breaker. The dagger had slots on one side that resembled the teeth of a comb. It’s not certain that so-called sword breakers actually broke the rapier swords they captured, but there is little doubt that getting a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The parrying dagger does not refer to one specific weapon, but to a category of small hand-held weapons. These hand-held weapons were popular in the late Middle Ages and early renaissance. Often, a parrying dagger was used as a defensive tool in conjunction with a single-handed sword. Main Gauche swords, meaning left hand swords, were [...]]]></description>

The cloaks work wonderfully in rainy weather because they keep me dry from head to toe. I’m sewing a new cloak for an upcoming battle. I’ve decided to go with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sword fighters and reenactment enthusiasts must harden their leather armor to avoid body damage. While you can have leather armor professionally hardened, it’s a simple enough task to complete on your own. Start by filling up a clean bathtub three quarters of the way with water at 180 degrees Fahrenheit. (Use a thermometer to confirm [...]]]></description>

The way a hilt rapier was constructed didn’t vary greatly, but the detail put into the hilt could be quite impressive. Rings were extended forward form the crossplate and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Doublets worn in the highlands of Scotland are a bit different from the doublets that were traditionally worn in the rest of the UK. The highland doublet is similar to a mess jacket and may be adorned with buttons, a jabot and cuff set, and a high-buttoned waistcoat. There are four distinct types of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    To protect his head and neck during battle, a medieval knight would don a chainmail coif. These coifs were made of interwoven iron rings. As you can imagine, they could be painful to wear, so knights would wear thick padding beneath the coif. A chainmail coif is not impenetrable. Sharp objects hurled with enough [...]]]></description>
