The Milanese Armorers

lowered_power_of_barons

A breastplate made in our workshops commands a price that craftsmen in Cologne or Toledo cannot match, and our armories supply courts and captains from Portugal to Poland. We formalize the armorers' guilds under ducal oversight, setting standards that protect our reputation and keep the technical knowledge, and the profit, within our walls. This monopoly on premium military equipment brings us steady revenue and keeps our own troops better equipped than any enemy who has to import their plate from elsewhere.
