Ever wondered how to make a Targe Shield? The original from the Wallace Collection possibly was made for Maximilian 1. , King of the Holy Roman Emperor. The Targe was crafted between 1480 and 1485 in Germany. Join me as I craft a museum ready copy of the medieval Targe Shield using only authentic materials. I'll guide you through the process, so let's travel back to the medieval times together!
