Frescos from the church in Kozieglowy (province of Silesia) have not been explored so far as a source for the history of arms and armour in Poland. They are of rather schematic nature; moreover, they are probably a compilation of an early fifteenth-century background with later layers from the 1470s. However, they are a good representation of the so-called 'mocking armour' (depictions of armed oppressors of Christ, deformed in order to emphasize their hostility towards the Christian and 'chivalrous' world). They also offer interesting depictions of late medieval Gothic breastplates and side arms (falchions). The depictions of side arms from the frescoes find their analogies in archaeological data as well in depictions and examples of arms from late medieval Germany and Hungary.19 Figures, 1 Table

In this article two swords: one found in the Dunajec river in Sikorzyce and the second, excavated in the old bed of the San river in Radymno are presented. The sword from Sikorzyce was manufactured between 1250-1350, probably in one of the Hungarian workshops; the sword from Radymno should be dated to the period 1360-1450 and recognized as the local, Polish work. Both findings may be connected with the San river and Dunajec river crossings on two trade routes: Kraków - Lviv and Poland - Hungary.
