The older parts of the palace have been recently refurbished. The King is checking through with the archivist some of the items brought out of storage for the palace museum.
The items include:
- a collection of partisans, halberds and billhooks
- a dummy dressed with the early 18C uniform of a guard officer
- the silver Angsi of Namur (on the table)
- St Wigbert's relics in a casket
- A cabinet of curiosities
- The banner of the Bishop of Wittenland, last carried in battle at the end of the 17C
- The mummy of the Egyptian pharoah Rubbatiti
- An old suit of armour

Absolutely *GREAT*!
Very impressive !!
Rubbatiti - class.
Splendid! :-) Is there also a hidden trapdoor into the crypt where the old torture equipment is kept?

Excellent use of "bits and bobs" in this museum room!

You always do a wonderful job with your battle reports, but look forward to your articles for the "little things," and here's another. Well done.
Mummy, oh mummy where is daddy?
David,
There's no such thing as old torture equipment :)

Not much to add to the previous comments. Great stuff as usual! I also enjoy your battle reports and posts like this and how you make excellent use of all sorts of "bits and bobs".
Tidders you are as daft as a brush!- in the nicest possible way !!
I have to agree with all the above. The battle reports are great but it's these little bits of background that bring Wittenberg to life and make you smile.
It's something we should all aspire to amid the recruiting of our toy-soldiery.
all the best

Hi Jeroen,
Perhaps one should say there is no out-of-date torture equipment - there is certainly plenty of old torture equipment. I've seen some of it in various museums and castles. ;-)
Cheers,
David
