Armatus Corpus, Princes et Chevaliers (1330-1530). Extrême-Orient INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I: MARITAL ALLIANCESArmatus 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 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.
