Figueiredos 13th Simple Rule For The Montante -Protecting A Cloak-

[@andrewrobinson4019]

Cloak Thieves have been real quiet since this dropped

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

I hope they learned their lesson XD

[@CristiNeagu]

The Middle Ages and the Renaissance were scary times, man... People walking around with cloaks that they'd defend by turning into sharp metal beyblades. Scary.

[@LordAmalthea]

So glad the algorithm put this in my feed. Subbed!

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

I will try my best to become worthy of your praise

[@LordAmalthea]

@A_Medieval_Shadow already are, brother

[@hueytlatoani1177]

Love the background music. Fantastic!

[@itskarl7575]

"...how to protect your cloak!" But...

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

🤣 the idea is to put it on again after XD

[@BrambleBones-ec5mm]

Finally, I can use this to keep my cousins from eating all of the sweets.

[@I_Willenbrock_I]

You showed your respects towards the statue. I like that.

[@6drk6mrc6]

Is my cloak in danger?! Nooo, I can't deal with that

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

the cloak must feel safe

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

It keeps me safe from the cold and I keep it safe from being cloaknapped

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

@@A_Medieval_Shadow maybe one day it will get upgraded with a ballistic nylon liner for a masterwork dueling capelet of protection. Also, bonus if you back it with chain. May the rest of your holiday be merry.

[@kazegetsu]

as always great video. I love your breakdowns and explanations. just keeps getting better.

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

I'm trying my best, thank you!

[@jessecerasus9621]

You know what ? You can keep that cloak...

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

XD

[@budgetcommander4849]

This seems like it would be interesting to pull off in a crowded urban environment, lol. Historical manuscripts can have some truly strange things

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Yes, pretty strange things indeed

[@luskarian]

Figueiredo 14 next lets goooo

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Yeah, let's gooooo!!!! Gotta practice with someone who throws things at me

[@luskarian]

@@A_Medieval_Shadow I should have thought of that, sounds super fun

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

I hope I survive training this Rule till recording it XD

[@jasonhughes1035]

Great video, I like many people living in urban inviromnents have suuffeded from rampant cloak theft. I've seen young men and women throw their lives away for the love of the game, that sweet ass cloak game. I respect your public service defending young men and women from cloak theft but I wonder.... Are our youths best served not being taught about cloak violence and politics. Are we better off teaching our young to be prepared for cloak crime or by saving them from this social ill as long as we can. Is society bettere served by training cloak vigilence or preserving cloak innocence. I'm sorry that i got philosophical but thanks, anyone joining the conversation is appreciated.

[@budgetcommander4849]

While it's important to strive for a society in which cloak theft won't happen, that can only be accomplished by helping the youth who turn to cloak crime. While that goal is pursued, it's important to learn how to protect your cloak, and tech others how to do the same.

[@LaRosaLaSpada]

Very interesting, thank you. The setting is amazing!

[@shawnclifford362]

Merry Christmas Shadow. Always a pleasure.☘️

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Merry christmas to you too!!!⚔️

[@M.M.83-U]

A beautifull demnstration on a fantastic lanscape. Very Christmassy.

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Thank you, I try to show more nice castle sights in my videos to come

[@leblon712]

Why is it called Figueiredos? That is Portuguese right? Just wondering since I am Portuguese

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Hi! Diogo Gomes De Figueiredo was a swordmaster with an interesting career from the 17th century who wrote fencing manuscripts including his "Reglas" for the Montante. Coming from the iberian Peninsula, it is no wonder he sounds familiar to you :D if you like to learn more about The iberian Montante, its Use, manuscripts and tactics, I recommend you my video "Greatswords Around the World 02: The Montante".

[@leblon712]

@A_Medieval_Shadow I sure will. Thank you for sharing

[@OvermasterJ]

Godinho Regla 8 Mantelschutz, da beschreibt er das man seinen linken Fuß auf den Mantel setzen soll und dieser nicht bewegt wird. Dann beginnt er mit zwei Tajos und dreht sich dabei um 180°(1 Schritt) und dann zwei Reves (180°) und ein Schritt zurück. Die Hiebe werden abwechselnd in zwei Vektoren geführt, einmal klassisch auf Brusthöhe und einmal tief zu den Beinen. Figu setzt den Fuß nicht auf den Mantel? Dann könnte der stibitzt werden, wenn die Angreifer das aussitzen und den Montantero genug beschäftigen.

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Jepp, das sind die Unterschiede.

[@caravaneerkhed]

It seems strange to me that you would need to protect your cloak so severely.. also who on earth is trying to snatch a cloak from a guy wandering around with a greatsword? Maybe just something I don’t understand. I could see this used as a defense against being surrounded while protecting a target though, tell the person you are body guarding to hit the deck and go wild!

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

Hi! Indeed it seems very strange for us today, but Cloaks are mentioned several times in treatizes. In this rule, you put the cloak on the ground to have your arms free and to protect your belongings (either on you or on the ground too) from several angles as a Deathcopter. You can try to hit those who come to near or demoralize them to flee.

[@johannfowl8653]

Skyrim looks different... ~~Could this rule be used to protect Stormcloaks too?~~

[@A_Medieval_Shadow]

XD Didn't see that coming
