The Defensive Armour and the Weapons and Engines of War of Mediæval Times, and of the Renaissance by R. Coltman Clephan is a detailed historical study of European arms and armor from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance. The book examines the evolution of personal protection, including helmets, chain mail, plate armor, and shields, alongside the weapons designed to defeat them, such as swords, maces, and polearms.

The work provides insight into the craftsmanship and strategic innovations that shaped medieval and Renaissance warfare. It discusses how advances in metallurgy and military tactics influenced the design of both armor and weaponry, leading to a constant arms race between offense and defense.
