“Quarter-staff (Fig. 1144) was the glory of the stout old English peasant or yeoman, in which, as far as we can learn, he was without a competitor in any foreign nation.” (p. 334) Two men in a forest fight with quarter-staffs (or staves); they are wearing tights. A sword, shield and bow lie on the ground behind them. |
