Harness pendants appear to have come into fashion in the 12th century, growing more numerous in the 13th century. In the second half of the 13th century, heraldic designs on them appeared and by the end of the 14th century, the fashion for such pendants was in decline. -
Medieval Iron Anti-Cavalry Caltrop Group
13th-15th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £234
Comprising eight caltrops, hand-forged with square-section spikes. 439 grams total, 88-95 mm
Acquired 1971-1972. From the collection of the vendor's father. Property of a London, UK, collector.
Caltrops were scattered on battlefields in an effort to stop or slow advancing enemy cavalry or foot soldiers; regardless of how a caltrop lands, one spike is always facing upwards. In 1082, Emperor Alexios Komnenos used caltrops against the Norman cavalry in the Balkans but the Normans avoided them by flanking the Roman line.
