La salle des gardes
Third type of weapons: French country weapons of XVè (arms and tool at the same time) a mass of weapons, was at the same time used to crash to pieces cranium and to spit the victims. An axe of pedestrian. A breakage-nape of the neck, whose blade was to pass between the cervical vertebrae…
In the tower, an armour of reître of Germany of the south, rather poor of aspect: it was the uniform for people who rented their services, in order to gain a little money as mercenaries. It is black in order to avoid the reflections of the sun. The reître made war its trade and then avoided the glowing armour of the lords who sought glory and death.
A small Gothic bench of XVIè very pretty part undoubtedly coming from a church of the area.
A small gun, couleuvrine of XVè, with its wood of origin. It had an advantage, it was very light, but also a disadvantage, being articulated little, it had to be waited until the enemy is directly opposite and at good distance to be able to draw to him above.
It is nevertheless a very beautiful part which replaced bombard them Italian of XIVè.
On the chimney, the blazon with the two keys, weapons of the Town of Cluny. Did Grimaldi of Monaco in their expansion in Burgundy and Franche-Comté bring back this part in our area ?
