Mercenary Bramham Moor Dagger, 15th Century

Mercenary Bramham Moor Dagger, 15th Century

Please note: This is just an ornamental item, not intended for real use!

Named for the final battle of the Percy Rebellion of 1402-1408, this style dagger is typical of well-to-do martial wear of the period. The end result of a power feud between the 1st Earl of Northumberland Henry Percy and King Henry IV, the Battle of Bramham Moor was fought in snow on a cold 19th of February. The violent melee ended Percy's life and the power of the Percy family, although a branch of descendants would rise to prominence later during the Wars of the Roses.
