Hi all, I have been asked to do some research on what Turcopoliers wore
in the 11th and 12th centuries. I have gone through Worldcat, and of
course nothing comes up about them directly. I am sure I will have to
start in some general arms/armour book and was wondering if anyone on
the list could point me to a good one.
Turcopoliers were supposedly a mixed breed Greek/Turk or Saracen who
sometimes fought for the crusaders. When I looke in the OED to find out
what they were, I was surprised to find that the term only went back as
far as the 15th century...not sure how that could be, but. Here is the
the link to that.
