Career edit

As a television presenter/host he is best known for the BBC series' Time Commanders (2003-2005) and Weapons That Made Britain (2004) for Channel 4, Medieval Tournament: Making of a Knight (2003) for Channel 4 and Discovery Channel, Weapon Masters (2007) for Discovery Networks, and Going Medieval (2012) for H2.[9][10] Loades appears regularly in television history documentaries as a military historian/historical weapons specialist.[11] He also works as a director for television [12] and as a historical consultant for the video games industry.[13] Additionally he works as a fight choreographer/action arranger,[14] who specializes in historical combat.

Loades has had several books published on arms and armour topics in addition to one about the history of dogs. He provided commentary about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in a short documentary for the videogame Total War: Rome 2 in addition to directing other short documentaries for the franchise - The Throwing War and Legionary Kit. While referring to Assassin's Creed, which he had worked as a consultant to Black Flag, he said that he was "blown away" by the work that was put in by the video game industry to make their work more historically authentic.[6][7]

For Ages of Empire IV, he wrote and directed nineteen short films that were embedded in the game as mini-documentaries titled Hands-On-History [15]

Filmography edit

Loades has directed on related history in several television drama/documentary specials, including:
