guys i need your help here, i need medieval illustrations of different kinds of medieval "soldiers" for a project i am working on(they can be professionals, levy or wathever) they can be from the 1100's to the 1400's, i need southern european ones, central european, northern european, eastern european, balcans, middle eastern and asian. Anything you can contribute with, even if it's not pics but information and useful links about this topic (composition and clothing of those regions in said era) will be extremely useful to me and i would be really grateful. Also i apologize if my english is kind of rubbish, i'm really out of practice

These depictions were taken from the Codex Manesse. Given your tiny pictures, I assume you don't know that it has been fully digitalised. http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848. Otherwise, I'd recommend looking into the illuminations on Froissart's chronicles, which usually fall into the late 14th to early 15th century. For something more 15th century-ish, there is the Hausbuch Wolfegg which shows a late medieval army group, or you could take a look at fencing manuals, e.g. Talhoffer's.

duelists, who use polearms are mostly soldiers.
who else carries an eight foot long shaft with a pointy metal end in their daily life?
>>968883
People who are involved in some kind of judicial dispute and opted for trial by combat.
>>968902
in their daily life?
I know what you're saying, but that's what I pointed out
>>968909
Soldiers didnt carry an eight foot long shaft with a pointy metal end in their daily life all that much either really.
>>968409
you are a saint, that's exactly what i was looking for, specially for pointing the manuscripts

Maciejowski Bible

Sure does
>>970543
Yes, that's from Talhoffer's

OP wanted "they can be professionals, levy or wathever". These may be duelists, but who is to say they are not part of a men-at-arms core or possibly levied peasants?
I have some odd stuff I've found in manuscripts over the years
All "we wuz" aside, yes that is an African man in a German manuscript
>>972052
Is he trying to shoot his crossbow backwards, or has he just figured out a new trendy way to hold a loaded ranged mechanism.
>>972072
He's shooting at his pursuers, backwards. Yes. Trendy? Better be. That would be pretty hard to actually do with accuracy
Look into a manuscript called "notitia dignitatum". It has a lot on governments and such, but the full manuscript also contains a wealth of shield designs
Ants took part in this battle, sorry

My dump ends here, if you want any more just post here and I'll be back to check in a day or two
