Throughout recorded history
tents have provided temporary and transportable accomodation
for use mainly during war (be it on the march or during a
siege). Other uses for tent accomodation included; nomadic
life, hunting expeditions, feasts, events and meetings.
Tentage provided protection from the elements for the
inhabitants and their accoutrements, however without it many
combatants died from exposure while on campaign (Rowland p.
19, Flanders 1657-8 A.D.).
This document has been put together to aid in the study of
tents from the 1st century to the 18th century using
manuscripts, extant items depicting tents or actual remains
of tents. Not a lot of extant material remains however many
artists depicted tents in a variety of art works; frescoes,
illuminated manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, tapestries
and woodcuts. In most cases I have restricted the data to
descriptions of the tents which do no justice to the great
works of art some of these pictures represent (eg.
Chroniques de Froissart 15th century, Siege of
Constantinople 1455 A.D., Battle of Pavia 1525 A.D. and
Siege of Boulogne 1544 A.D.). I have included some pictures
of replica period tents to give the viewer some idea of what
the tents looked like. I have also provided links to other
sites which have pictures and information regarding the
period examples.
Problems have arisen where far too many authors provide
little or no information as to the provenance of the
manuscript in question. It has also been noted that on a
number of occasions that different authors provide
conflicting information on dating, provenance and even the
description of the same manuscript illumination.
