@CrimsonTheNeek no actually this is mid to late 15th century Italian Style armor with gothik elements, like the "ripped" backplate and the Salled helmed (in combination with bevor) , the Italians used the Armet and Bascinet more, but i guess in England the german style of helmet was more prefered. Plate armor wasn´t wearen until 1150 , before that Mail (with Nasal, Gread Helm, cattle Hat or earaly Bascinet) was the best you could get and maybe a Breastplate. I am a reeanctor from the late 14th early 15th century from germany, i have a Corrazina Armor with Cattle Helmet or Bascinet, Hour Glass Gauntlets, Leg and arm protaction appropriate for this period, but this armor he wears is like 40 to 50 years more in the furture.
@RockmeHellsing5 жыл бұрын
@CrimsonTheNeek Just a few things to notice, there are some rules the armor of the different centurys are to distinguish: If the wearer of the armor is fully encased in "blank" armor fron head to food it is likely a late armor, more around 1450 to 1600 an beyond. there are some traits of 13th and 14th century armor you can notice: Hour Glass Gauntlets, Bascinets (with aventail) and cloth or leather covert armor is likely a armor of 14th or 13th century, the time of the Coat of Plates and mail Hauberk. After that the armor gets blank, without covering, exept on the common footsoldier he will likely wear a (15. century)brigandine made out of very tiny overlapping metal Pieces buckled on cloth or leather. but this will be the case in england at most, other countries had other methods and it is always floating, what armor were used and when. Some Knights hated cloced helmets (like me when i show fight, because i like to see and breathe, i have my bevor for close combat or a bascinet with atacheable face plate) For example the great helm (the big version with a secret helm unterneath) was used intil the mid 14th century, even if it was laughed about in some countrys as "outdated". and the Cattle head was used since 1000 A.C. or even earlier until WW1. so i hope i could help you.

A sword was a sidearm to be used when the primary weapon is either broken or lost or when combat gets too close for a long weapon like a poll axe or halberd.

So awesome that people are keeping the Medieval combat sports alive. I saw a 20 man on-foot melee battle at the Renaissance Fair last year and it was so exciting. I did not expect those guys to really be wailing on each other with swords and maces so hard. They had full speed full contact jousting this time too. They were teams from a league that puts on actual tournaments. If I could afford the equipment I would love to do it. In the past, they were using broom sticks with tennis balls on the end and pulling their punches. It was lame. Nobody wants to see anyone get injured, but it sure is fun watching people hurt each other. 😂

Wonderful. For all I've been learning about armour recently in order to draw it I found this video very detailed in explaining the functions and forms or the armour, how different parts sit over one another and where they come in the body when obscured by another plate, such as where the curias ends at the ribs

Love what the archer was saying about bows vs knights. I’ve often heard (and seen from tests) that war arrows can only penetrate plate about 1/2 or 3/4 inches at best, but the long bow was such a respected and influential weapon despite this. The long bow must have had an effect in battle otherwise it would have become obsolete. Like you say wounding horses, but also at least distracting knights and I’d imagine wounding them some with simple impact, and lucky hits to gaps in the armour etc. Otherwise I don’t see why they would exist so long, and be so renowned. You don’t take a knife to a gun fight, and if bows didn’t effect battles you wouldn’t use them for hundreds of years.

@raidenxt8737 Жыл бұрын
christ, an arrow penetrating 1/2 inch plate??? medieval plate armor was variable thickness, between 1.5-3mm, which is 0.1 inches at most. the main protective factor of armor is actually in its curves, allowing it to deflect arrows. and yes, knights were mostly invulnerable to arrows, that's why they didnt bother with shields. still, there would be a chance of a lucky hit, impairing an arm or striking the gap in the visor which makes archers good at suppressing knights, not necessarily killing them

Wow, that was a tremendously informative video. I've always been fascinated with full plate armour, but I've never taken the time to learn about it in detail. Obviously I've seen it in movies and also in fantasy crpg's, but those are generally high on the visual, low on the cerebral. I didn't quite realize how much work went into getting into a suit of armour so that was quite interesting to discover. Thanks again for a great vid!

The name of the differents parts are funny because they sound like modern french but not exactly. Cuisse literaly means thigh in french and is pronunced exactly the same. Maille still exist in french and means mesh. We pronunce it like an australian would pronounce May. The couter sound like coude which is the elbow. But I think that it is even closer to coudière that is the name of this armour part in french, armour that we call armure. Bevor sounds like bavoir. Today bavoir is related to bave which is drool in french, and bavoir is baby bib.
