My new video series on blacksmithing in the Eurasian steppes: https://youtu.be/BBQuVBSVfyY Link to Historical Realm: https://www.facebook.com/HistoricalRealm/ The Mongols utilized a variety of weapons and armours in their conquests in the thirteenth century. While of course their bows are most famous, contrary to the image of them as fur clad barbarians there was much more to their military dress than might otherwise be expected.
