Wooden Medieval Heater Shield - Crusader - 22" x 24"

Crafted with the discerning reenactor in mind, our Crusader Heater Shield combines historical accuracy with modern durability. The curved wooden core provides excellent protection, while the 10-ounce canvas wrapping ensures a period-correct appearance. With leather X-pattern hand holds and an adjustable arm strap, this shield becomes an extension of your arm in battle. The added shoulder strap allows for easy transport when not engaged in combat.

The heater shield, named for its resemblance to a medieval iron, was a staple of 12th to 14th-century warfare. Smaller and more maneuverable than its kite shield predecessor, it was favored by mounted knights and foot soldiers alike. The red cross design harkens back to the Crusades, where it served as a potent symbol of Christian warriors.
