HUSSITE ARTILLERYMAN
An extract from Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 2by Ian Heath
127. HUSSITE ARTILLERYMAN
This figure wears a rolled hood on his head, and a cross-over style gambeson, plus the large wallet-cum satchel mentioned under figure 124. In his leather-gloved hands he carries a stone cannon-ball. Throughout Europe such stone shot was made by skilled artisans who were paid very high wages, receiving as much as a man-at-arms by the end of the 14th century.
