- Heater_shield abstract "The heater shield or heater-shaped shield is a form of European medieval shield, developing from the early medieval kite shield in the late 12th century as depicted in the great seal of Richard I and John. The term is a neologism, created by Victorian antiquarians due to the shape's resemblance to a clothes iron.Smaller than the kite shield, it was more manageable and could be used either mounted or on foot. From the 15th century, it evolved into highly specialized jousting shields, often containing a bouche, a notch or \"mouth\" for the lance to pass through. As plate armor began to cover more and more of the body, the shield grew correspondingly smaller, until by the mid 14th century, it was hardly seen at all outside of tournaments. Heater shields were typically made from thin wood overlaid with leather. However, they were often also made of metal or like materials, or were made of wood braced with metals such as steel or iron. Heater shields often featured a strap for the shield to be slung over the back when not in use. Some shields, such as that of Edward, the Black Prince from his tomb in Canterbury Cathedral, incorporated additional layers of gesso, canvas, and/or parchment.The heater shield was used by almost every class of society in medieval Europe, from knights to typical soldiers. This lent itself to being relatively inexpensive and easy to make, relatively lightweight compared to other similar shields at the time such as the kite shield, being easy to move around during both mounted and on-foot combat, and having a fairly high amount of surface area, making for a solid defense. However, this style of shield was not without its flaws. Using a heater shield properly, the legs are left almost entirely unprotected, however this disadvantage can be somewhat mitigated by protection of the legs using armor.Unfortunately, there is very little documentation remaining in the world regarding the proper use of a heater shield with a sword or any other weaponHeater shields were often used for heraldric display.".
