The really heavy was the 17th century heavy cavalry "bullet-proof" armor used in the early parts of the English Civil War (1642-1651) that could weigh around 70 to 95+ pounds. Steel was so strong and thick, it could stop a pistol bullet, but extremely heavy and was phased out for a minimal breast plat over a thick leather buff coat.

Your squire deserves praise. Also, very good instreuctions and facts that keeps the interest. Music is 10/10. I am happy you made these videos! Truly.

Good video. As Shadiversity and Metatron also pointed out, armour always had to be both protective and practical. Armour in which you couldn't move or fight was not practical. Better grade armour was made and fitted.

Not just a lance. The shape of the cuirass and the helmet encouraged glancing from swords and other weapons as well.

I miss this content

and now im ready for combat *struggels to pull out sword* lol but good vid though

man, these videos were so great

Ohhh I just love this series. Glad to see you back!

Video was very good, i would apriciate a little lower volume of music. I could barely hear your voice through it.

Nice to see you back :)

man.... you deserve more subs and views... i love to see more armor videos!

Well done guys, great to see you back!

glad to see you are continuing the series

Yaaayyy, the series isn't dead!!! :)

I am glad i found more of your videoes

MORE !!!!! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOOO LONG!!!

good job I love this series

I love your channel!

well, I did not expect that... I hope you're back for good

Excellent video! Also, there are some gambeson parts for legs too ;)

I believe that is riveted mail, noice

When I picture a suit of armour that I would like to own and wear, it is exactly what you have there (the cavalry set). So please give me that lol. Thanks for making this video, I always enjoy learning about armour!

You're back!

3:40 actually they would become a page at the age of seven and learn about etiquetts and court life and serve as a servant of sorts, at age 14 or 13 or 15 ( it tends to differ) they would become a squire and learn about combat. By all means correct me if i'm wrong.

Nice video and I nice suit of armour. I believe you need the faulds for protection of the waist and hips and you are going to have a fully armour of the 1410.

Yes! he finally made another one!!

Very cool video. By the 15th century, the role of knights were in severe doubt and by the 16th century they had started to disappear, this was because firearms, canons and professional armies were starting to be introduced into warfare. The same doubt is true for castles which had largely disappeared by the 17th century, the role of politics had changed and for the first time, regions were coming together to form the modern nation state as we know it. The 17th century nations rather would use standing armies in campaigns on an open battlefield, trench warfare was sometimes used. This is why we don't see castle sieges and knights on horses in the late 17th century or 18th century and onwards. Knights and castles were a product of the early to late medieval period which ended around the 1500s (16th century)

you should really go on with your series! I think there are great videos to come from you

Hey man ,love the video , what's the cost like of buying the whole set?

Dude, you have a squire. I think you're the most badass person in the world xD

I love the Bascinet !

you should try out some uniforms during the revolutionary war to the Napoleonic era, they got some really good looking ones too :D

The triumphant return...

This is like 14th century armour right at the beginning of the 15th century the later stuff didn't require mail to be worn underneath it has no couters or pauldrons also

Who else thinks the chain mail over the plates looks weird

What’s the intro music, it sounds so glorious

I wish there wasn't loud ass music, which almost drowns the explanations.

That shield is too small for a Genoan Pavise, what do you call it?

Nareszcie chłopaki :)

thank God finally

it's totally strange that I watched the first 3 parts earlier today and now this part has been posted a year after the last one

Nice.

Holy shit your back

Mistake, prisoners were taken during the battle of Tanenberg/Grunwald, it was the need to pay the ransoms that bankrupt the Teutonic order.

Now let's have someone swing a katana at you to once and for all end the debate of who would win between a knight and a samurai.

Man, try to use the Bates' method for eyes. Saveliy Kramorov corrected his eye so it works.

you just hit 1k subs!!!

Hundskugel means something like dog's cone (kugel is a bit hard to translate, can also mean bullet or sphere/globe), not dog's mouth.

So, if we had a time machine and wanted to send a spy into the Middle Ages equipped to be a knight, with typical armour and weapons of that time but made of modern quality steel, he'll probably be invincible? (of course if he also masters combat techniques)

when will the next episode be up?

I'm wanting to see if you could a well try and do the evolution of the armor in the Roman army.

I only have one complaint: the "background music" is a little loud, it's drowning out the narration.

Looks very "Projekt14"-ish Did you borrow polish armour ? :D Or...are you polish and its yours ? Or none of that all ? ^^ Nice kit :)

Where are the movies? :D

who made this armor? where can I look to purchase a similar suit? thanks.

Erm - the English used that armour on foot, at lot (see Cercy and Potiers)

Great armor, but a long bowman could make short work of you still. Which is why the hundred years war lasted so long. :)

Why the hips arent protected with metal plates like tassets? I know the fact that you need a relative mobile waist to move, especially in a fight on foot. The problem is that the hips are a weak spot for horizontal cuts and a layer of maille plus gambeson or aketon wont do very much to absorb the damage

Nitpick, but those are spaulders, not pauldrons.

Isn't your mail a little too short on the arms ? Your joints are exposed, there is only gambeson there.

You say that such armor did not wieght 100 kg - I totally agree with you. But why you then do not do the obvoius thing - tell us how much it does actually weight? Thea would debunk myths about "100 kg" armor much better than simply stating that it is not heavy. BTW - my guess is from 20 to 24 kg.

Aż się zdziwiłem że nie ma tutaj Polaków

Name of music at 10:14

Sorry but this is not a FULL plate armour. Those you try to refere to were Milanese and Gothic style FULL plate armour (mid XV century)

You are missing Sabatons.

where are you plz make more videos

Why you stopped doing this videos?

first off good vid. but... its half plate not full plate. thats more later periods. also your looking at very early 14th to late 14th century respective from the visby shirt of plates later called what you have brigandine. the churburg is a mid 14th century carried over in to the 15th then replaced with a full set of plates that goes all the way down to cover the upper thighs (tassets). the churburg stops at the belly button as you said for bending. and the rest is either a maille skirt or what you have on and thats why its half plate harness set. later periods of full plate removes the maille and only covers joint locations or is attached in to the gamberson (armpits etc). your missing the sabatons for the feet but other wise a full set of gutter designed plates backed with maille.. your helm bascinet with pig mask or hound mask region respective places it mainly across the 14th century... the 15th is more a fully encased suit of armour with rondels protecting joint locations and patched chain under the slightest of gaps. and the spauldons are a lot larger with guards on them neck guards and other manner of deflective designs up to the later periods of gothic flutted designs. and sallet helms come about with a full range of designs and chin protections. now the shield well, lets say marry it with a crossbow...

100 kg, thats over 200 pounds

Make more video

What happened to this channel?

Video gets a number of things wrong that’s not full plate, it’s half plate. Were it full plate you wouldn’t have a shield and instead would have something to the effect of a two-handed sword or a pole arm of some sort. Also ive never heard anyone say armor weighed 100 kg I’ve heard 100 lbs but never kg I don’t think anyone is so stupid to think people fought in armor that weighs more than they do or nearly the same. Why not say how much armor weighs at that if you want to debunk that myth so badly. I can only imagine it’s because armor actually is spectacularly heavy a set of full plate being around 60 lbs or 27 kg, it was only manageable because of how well designed it was to distribute that weight between the shoulders, hips and legs. More do the hips and shoulders though, that’s more that your average modern soldier carries (though it’s still more manageable since it’s all wore on a soldier’s torso really and not evenly distributed which tires you out more) This is accurate to the period as far as I can tell but is slightly misleading to the uninitiated just getting into the subject.

Please turn down the music!

Swords? Nothing. Axes? Nothing. Spears? Nothing. Arrows and bolts? Nothing. *Hotel?*

13th century BTFO

It's not even a fully plate armour.
