This video features Olivier Renaudeau, a curator at the Musée de l’Armée, examining a Gothic poleaxe. This specific weapon is associated with the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a significant diplomatic event between England and France in 1520, involving King Henry VIII and Francis I. The video is part of a series exploring objects related to this historical event, with planned episodes on other arms and armor like Henry VIII's buckler and Francis I's sword. It highlights the historical context and cultural significance of these artifacts, presented virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and promotes the Royal Armouries' online exhibition and resources.
