'The Battle of Bosworth' (re-enactment) at Raglan Castle, Monmouthshire, Wales UK - May 2014

Honestly, the armor here looks better than any armor in any modern medieval show or movie.

[@alexadamson9959]

Because it’s actually historical. And is designed to work.

​@@alexadamson9959 Exactly.

Honestly, it looks shabby. It's alright for what it is and best regards to all participants, but it is not a battle reenactment of a particular battle. It's some guys having fun fooling around. That's alright. But don't pretend it's something it's not.

@@tilllodemann6913 tell me you know fuck all about armour without actually telling me you know fuck all about armour. That stuff is extremely good quality. Each one of those suits was likely thousands of £s each. And yeah, no shit they where just standing around. You don’t want to get that shit banged up. It’s designed to work, so you’d be fine. But repairing that stuff is a task and a half.

I love this sport and hate with a passion how underrated it is. Edit: In regards to Buhurt or armoured fighting, I understand this may be just a demonstrative reenactment.

I've been lucky enough to of gone to raglan castle on many occasions, its a fine castle to behold but then travelling in and around Wales it's hard not to run into a castle. Wales is a country of castles built by the English to enforce subjugation upon the proud nation of Wales.

The best reenactment is the Battle of Tewksbury held every year. Absolutely amazing day out

[@richardcoates2317]

That is certainly an excellent event and the 2015 show is featured on the channel. Enjoy!

[@suddencucumber5994]

could it be that the armour does not fit properly? i cant help but notice wide gaps and misfittings of the sallets and elbow pieces

[@Demons_of_the_night]

Great 👍

Least in the old days like then if you got your arm lobbed off you could Disability living allowance (DLA). Nowadays with Personal independence payment (PIP) it's a lot harder to have a claim accepted

[@Kelvostrass]

Those close upwards thrusts look risky af - like if someone slumps their head down at the wrong time they gonna loose an eye xD
