This video explores the Royal Armouries I.33 manuscript, recognized as the oldest known European fencing manual. Dating back to the early 14th century Germany, this 'Fechtbuch' or 'Fight Book' offers a fascinating glimpse into historical martial arts techniques through its illustrated pages. While the author and original purpose remain a mystery, the manuscript provides invaluable insights into medieval combat. The video also promotes Jeffrey Forgeng's translation of the I.33 manuscript, available for pre-order, and highlights the Royal Armouries' extensive collection and resources.
