Seals and iconography are valuable sources of knowledge about the armament of the Crusaders in the Holy Land in the 12th and 13th centuries. Based on them, it is possible to determine not only which specific elements of combat equipment were used by the Crusaders at the time, but also to reconstruct entire sets of armor for both knights and infantry. In light of the sources, we can conclude that the military techniques of the Outremer region were similar to Western European models, which corresponded to practical solutions in the martial arts of that period. Medieval armament was also an essential element of political culture and an instrument of projecting power towards both enemies and subjects.
