Understanding Joan of Arc's World
To illuminate the arms and armour of Joan of Arc's world, the Royal Armouries delivered a bespoke research and consultancy service, drawing on our deep expertise and access to our extensive collection.
By highlighting relevant primary materials in the museums' galleries and storerooms, providing historical consultancy from curators and performing combat demonstrations from our live interpretation staff, we were able to answer the most challenging questions. Through a unique hands-on experience handling our collection, we were able to provide Baz Luhrmann and team a sense of what dressing for battle would have been like for Joan of Arc.
