Armatus Corpus, Princes et Chevaliers (1330-1530). Extrême-Orient and to present interpretations andArmatus corpus is the "armed body," that of the prince who goes to war, or who indulges in jousting in the magnificence of his equipment. It is the armed body of chivalry that surrounds the prince in these festivals of arms and in battles. It also designates the groups of men who are devoted to his protection or that of the territory, from feudal troops to urban militias, ancestors of the protection and security services of our contemporary societies.
