52,235Tobias Capwell is the curator of arms and armor at The Wallace Collection in London. Here, he reacts to seven memorable scenes featuring medieval weapons and armor and rates them based on their historical accuracy.
Capwell looks at armor and weapons within fantasy franchises, such as Eomer's helmet in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (2002). Using artifacts from The Wallace Collection, Capwell addresses the realism of knightly combat in "Henry V" (1944), "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" (2005) and "Game of Thrones" (2011). Does chain mail look anything like it does in Netflix's "Outlaw King" (2018)? And would armor deflect arrows as in "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" (1999)?
Tobias Capwell is an author, lecturer, broadcaster, and the curator of arms and armor at The Wallace Collection in London. He has been a horseman and martial artist since childhood, is a founding member of the modern historical jousting community, and has fought in major international tournaments all over the world.
