Wagon harness

[Erpingham]

I'm just starting work on a couple of medieval wagons and thought I'd look up some bits about harness.  I found this article Gail Brownrigg : Medieval Horse Harness – The Evidence of the Images

from 2020.

I deliberately didn't title the post Medieval Wagon Harness because, in fact, it says as much about pre-medieval harnessing arrangements so is of more general interest. It leads with another piece of myth-busting (and, as we know, I like a bit of myth busting  ) about the medieval harness "revolution".

Nice find.

People interested in earlier harnessing may find Roman Traction Systems - http://www.humanist.de/rome/rts/index.html - useful.
