I imagine heat stroke would be quite the problem with that thick gamberson in the desert sun.

@crazyzombiebos7778 7 жыл бұрын

B-ball Hard fall heat strokes were very rare. After 20 minutes or so knights started to take of their plate armour. Normal warriors would take of their coif and fight only with their helmet. Sometimes they were protected and took of their gambeson and put it on top of the armour to protect from the son.

Crazy Zombie There was no plate armor before the 14-15th century.

@@SoI_Badguy there was. Just less common and used mostly for aesthetic. The earliest european plate armors were badly made but looked good.

Though what you said 1:08 about what Pope Urban II said in his speech is *correct*, I want to add something by saying that the First Crusade was not primarily a fight to save the endangered Christians from the Muslims, rather it was *mostly* started to protect Byzantium who were defeated in several battles by the Seljuk Turks. Excerpt of Pope Urban II's Speech at the Council of Clermont, emphasizing Byzantium's endangered state: "For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For... the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory... They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. This being said, Pope Urban II *did* use the Christian faith as a tool to persuade passionate Christians of the time to take up arms and defend Byzantium, who all ultimately moved onto the Holy Land, liberating the Holy Sepulcher and taking the east coast of the Mediterranean and a bit beyond. "If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you... to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people... to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race *from the lands of our friends*."

@Simon-iv5xz 5 жыл бұрын

You should consider investing in a bit higher quality hauberk, I noticed yours missing any protection in the arm pits. Which is a necessity as one of your main arteries pass through there, the gambeson is by no standards easy to cut through. But you need just a few rings and a decently skilled Craftsman to add that last bit of protection

I know this comment is 6 years old but that’s a Templar thing and they didn’t exist yet at the time of the First crusade, a typical knight at the time wore a mail hauberk down to mid thigh and the typical Norman nasalhelm style
