13th Century Ibelin Crusader Shield

Introducing the 13th Century Ibelin Crusader Shield, a great reminder of the valor of the Crusades. Emblazoned with the coat of arms of House Ibelin, this crusader shield transports you to epic clashes for the Holy Land.

House of Ibelin Design

Crafted from poplar wood and bound in linen, this crusader knight shield is painted by hand with historically inspired detail. The design on the front depicts the coat of arms of the House of Ibelin: a red cross pattee on a yellow field. The House of Ibelin was a prominent royal family living in Jerusalem during the 12th Century onward.

The wood construction ensures this heater shield is manageable without sacrificing protection. This heater shield is designed with curved sides, a round top, and a curved, tapering point at the bottom. At the back, you can slip your arm through four adjustable leather straps with steel double ring buckles. The padded leather pad cushions your arm in combat. The straps run diagonally. You can hold this shield left-handed. The straps are long enough to be worn even with padding and armor on.

Take Your Place in the Crusades

This medieval wooden shield, much like the crusaders who inspired it, is emblematic of the medieval era’s battle-hardened ethos. Perfect for medieval personas, crusader-inspired characters, and other costuming ideas, this shield is as stylish as it is reliable. Your man-at-arms or knightly persona can equip this wooden shield to protect themselves in the heat of mock battles. When you’re not using it in epic shield wall battles, you can turn heads and spark conversations about the Crusades and historical craftsmanship holding this shield at Renaissance fairs.
