Two Anglo Saxon soldiers in suits of armor from the end of the 9th and beginning of the 10th centuries. A soldier with a long lance wearing a blue cape over a brown tunic that appears to have metal plates attached to the fabric in the skirt (61). Another soldier with lance, long-bow and shield wearing a tunic of metal plates that resemble fish-scales over a bright yellow skirt (62). Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages" (1796).
