"Nota quod totus nucleus artis dimicatorie consitit in illa vltima custodia, que nuncupatur langort …" – the eponymous sentence for this book comes from the oldest surviving European fencing book of the Middle Ages, the Tower Fechtbuch.

Ultima Custodia contains a translation of the Tower Fechtbuch from Latin with interpretations, as well as an interprtation of the techniques as practiced by the sword and buckler group at INDES Graz (Association for Historical European Swordsmanship). This also includes tips on equipment, suggestions for training, exemplary combat sequences, presentations of the individual techniques, and a comprehensive glossary. The illustrations in this book are al designed and drawn by Bettina Sehner herself. Some to make the content easier to understand and others just to please your eyes.
