                <text>This close-up image of a mounted knightâ€™s leg was taken at Ironfest in 2008 by the photographer Richard Taylor. It reveals a blend of contemporary customs and traditional workmanship, for modern re-enactments of jousting require utmost mobility with as little weight as possible. The horse, rather than being burdened by plate armour, is heavily padded and covered with an ornamental cloth trapper (or caparison) displaying the riders heraldry. The knight wears plates known as greaves to cover the legs, and rounded poleyns (c. 1350s) to protect the knees. The soft leather shoes are spurred, but not otherwise protected, which is unusual. However, this knight will not be required to dismount and fight on foot, so comfort probably took precedence over veracity in this instance. </text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Billed as &amp;lsquo;An Arts Festival with a Metal Edge&amp;rsquo; Ironfest is an annual festival held in the New South Wales city of Lithgow. The festival involves artists and blacksmith working with metal, as well as historical re-enactors, musicians, and performers. The re-enactors include those who focus on the medieval period, and the entertainment for the Ironfest 2013 includes jousting. The main page for Ironfest includes a photograph of nine knights wearing plate armour and helmets and carrying shields and swords. The festival began in 2010 and&amp;nbsp;is held at the Kingdom of Ironfest (the Lithgow Showground).&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.</text>

                <text>Billed as â€˜An Arts Festival with a Metal Edgeâ€™ Ironfest is an annual festival held in the New South Wales city of Lithgow. The festival involves artists and blacksmith working with metal, as well as historical re-enactors, musicians, and performers. The re-enactors include those who focus on the medieval period, and the entertainment for the Ironfest 2013 includes jousting. The main page for Ironfest includes a photograph of nine knights wearing plate armour and helmets and carrying shields and swords. The festival began in 2010 and is held at the Kingdom of Ironfest (the Lithgow Showground).&#13;
