Warhammer & battle of San Romano by Uccello and mounted combat by Mair

 Salvete Omnes,


combat detail from Uccello's San Romano in Florence, Italy

I have been following the Schola Gladiatoria page on Yt for a very long time - 

but somehow I missed this presentation by Matt on the war hammer/nadziak of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods.
In the presentation  Matt demonstrates the use of the horseman's war hammer, presents some pages from Paulus Hector Mair's Fechtbuch, where warhammer is demonstrated - courtesy of Wiktenauer (a HEMA Alliance project).

.

Jorg W. Hutters Fechtbuch



 discusses Piero vel Pedro Monte's instructions of this weapon use - in 2018 the writings were  translated & published as Collectanea,

and makes a reference with explanation to a mounted combat scene  in Paolo Uccello' painting, the London version - battle of San Romano.


Matt's description starts at 12min50s
