@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.

@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with a secret helm unterneath) was used intil the mid 14th century, even if it was laughed about in some countrys as "outdated".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.

Not to mention that you won't be fighting with a sword either, at least not to start with. You're more than likely to start out fighting with a pole weapon of some sort or an axe, war hammer, or mace, anything but a sword. 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.

Beautiful suit of armor! I hate getting those little cuts when I put my segmentata on. Armor can sometimes be more painful than the battle! :) I recently learned that "Medieval" Chinese warriors would wear their sheaths on their backs to provide additional protection to the spine in a manner similar to the little ridge on the Cuisse.

It’s almost as close to being a knight as you can get without being knighted. While he technically ranks lower than a baronet, honours awarded to the individual count for far more in my opinion than hereditary ones.

I’m very familiar with fire fighting gear. I remember it going unwashed for weeks during the pre commissioning of the USS Essex (LHD 2). I was a Plank owner on that Naval war ship. That fire fighting gear stunk horribly. Thankfully I only had to dress out a couple of times before they pulled me from the fire fighting team. That’s because I was far too small to fit in the fire fighting gear. It was actually dangerous for me to wear it because of my short height.

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.

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

That story about the lance hitting the cuisse was pretty scary. That seems like an awful lot of energy to be absorbed by a stop-rib. I'm glad everything went well! On a lighter note, would you be able to wash the arming clothes by hand? I would assume that if you were to use cold water and a washboard then it wouldn't shrink much. Though, I haven't tried it myself so I may be wrong on that

I've heard a lot of people say they don't wash their doublets (both civilian and arming garments). Sometimes they say that since there are many layers in it, it wouldn't dry up for a long time and build mold inside. Personally, I've never had any such trouble when washing my doublet from time to time by hand and letting it dry in the sun.

I suppose nobles would have a bunch of new arming clothes made to take with them on the march, whereas anyone who couldn't afford to have a few pairs would just get used to the smell. Provided the armour does its job, the smell shouldn't be too horrible because the blood, shit and piss would also get stopped by the armour.

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!
