Now that's an oof

@@cheesychipmunk8382 nice necro, mammalian mancer

Don't know about that but I heard a rumour that new knights wore a Green Sallet, and Italian knights wore Chiesa Sallets... ...I'll just get my coat on the way out then.

Goddammit, why did I laugh at that

Vorsprung Durch Bucket... only as the host points out, it's Italian by design...most likely an ancestor of Pininfarina.

qwerty qwerty Yeah. That iron would be for my whole life... in my livers

Thank you!

Hey man, I was wondering if you have a certain place you frequent buying armor from? I don't know anywhere else to get recommendations from.

Do/or did, you make/made a video on the Maximillian Helmet and Sir Giles Helmet? s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/01/6c/88/016c88e72442bc999be8382931b11a81.jpg And how is this helmet named? upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Armor_for_tilt_and_field_of_Count_Franz_von_Teuffenbach,_by_Stefan_Rormoser,_Innsbruck_Austria,_1554_-_Higgins_Armory_Museum_-_DSC05679.JPG Thanks

that second one is a frog mouthed or tilting helmet

@@bungtunger5345 Most high quality armors are custom made in private smith shops. You'd have to probably find the closest local one on social media and meet them in-person for measurements. Most of the best armor can't be bought online, unless you are able to commission something from a private seller. If you absoultely need to buy top armor online, Steel Mastery seems good but they are kinda overpriced and it would cost and arm and a leg. (unless you are rich) For lesser quality armor online there are more alternatives like Kult of Athena. However you need to be careful with Kult of Athena becasue they have a lot of bad stuff too. When buying online just tread carefully and do your research to make sure you get a good deal. But for top of the line gear that Ian Laspina has, is a bit more complicated to obtain. Hope I helped, sorry for the late and vague reply...

You just had to say something... and it wasn't me, just so you know.

Can't change people's stupidity.

Commenting 7 years later but KZfaq decided to remove dislikes so the video's back to 0 dislikes haha@@conquistadan2069

The morion is effective and pleasing with it's magnificent comb,

Sounds like a good theory but i always thought the helmet gained popularity because it allowed for more breathing room

+Aman G also the sallet would allow greater protection when attacking enemies who are at a higher elevation such as city wall or castel walls

You are not the first to bring this up :) Maybe it's an 'Ian' thing

I think he gets it from medieval extreme, age of crafts, and ice falcon armory.

I was thinking the same thing when he showed one of the German sallets. The shape is certainly reminiscent of the WWI version of the stahlhelm with the flaring at the neck.

simonandfaerk both the german stahlhelm and the Dutch ww2 helmet are inspired by the sallet yes

Thank you, and welcome to the channel!

Make sure to empty the bucket every now and then! ;)

If I had access to a good one I'd love to talk about, they're also one of my favorite all-time medieval helmets.

please PLEASE do try, nobody ever talks about them but they're also my favourite above all. I've been wanting to commission one from a blacksmith but don't know enough about them.

@@Shorjok It's a beautiful helm.

My favorite is the close helm

Lion Reichelt o:

aside from the great video i mean

Yea me too! And I want to see one on barbutes

Well, there really is no definitive line. As modern people we are kind of obsessed with classifying things into mutually exclusive categories. There is way too much fluidity between one style helmet and another. A fully developed kettle hat will tend to flare out more on the sides and front than a true sallet, but they're not so dissimilar that there isn't crossover. Most barbutes from profile are really just sallets with extended protection on the face, so there's a lot of gray area.

Lol, that doesn't fit well into my engineering brain. I WANT ABSOLUTES! :P Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. Keep rocking the vids!

I've never handled a sallet so this is just speculation, but I would think that without a bevor it might be easier to move your head down and side to side.

It's hard to see in Durer's woodcut, but I suspect he might be wearing an articulated gorget in place of a bevor. Here's an example, but this was also a configuration seen with some sallets - harringtoncompanye.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/ulm-1482.jpg?w=620

Great, thanks! You're right, it's kind of hard to tell, but it probably is a gorget of some kind, considering the late time period. I was somewhat thrown by the fact that he doesn't seem to be wearing greaves or sabatons, either.

LOL. Never thought of it before, but you're right, it does.

Yeah, I was actually thinking the same thing. Just need to make it pink. And knit.

A pink kettle arming cap!

Toward the very end of the 15th century sallets with gorgets start appearing in artwork. A 'closed sallet' though is a sallet with an interated bevor, articulated on the same pivots as the visor like at 13:55 belonging to Max I

"I also have yet to find any particularly high quality barbute reproductions." Therein lies the problem. Yes, I definitely want to cover barbutes. I currently don't have access to a good reproduction though, and I think that's an important part of my style of presentation. I'll keep searching though!

For what it's worth, the armor consultant on the Lord of the Rings movies (not the Hobbit) was John Howe. Not only is he a very well known Tolkien illustrator, but he is also does 15th century Living History as a member of the Company of Saynt George. He knows real armor very well!

@@KnyghtErrant oh wow, I didn’t know that.

Found it at Bookriot. Seriously though, great video.

There are only 2 close-sallets (integrated pivoting bevor) in existence that I'm aware of, and they may have been specialized helmets. So don't think of them as suddenly replacing regular sallet/bevor configurations because that's not the case. Separate bevors were still very much in use even after the close-sallet came to be, until eventually the sallet itself gave way to other styles of helmet. It is more _directly_ protective than a separate bevor to have one integrated into the helmet as it eliminates the possibility of the two gapping open, so for certain applications it might have been considered more optimal. The fully visored sallets (no bevor at all, just a big visor) seem to be relatively short-lived in the grand scheme of things, but the lessons of both the close-sallet and fully visored sallet would both directly lead to the more familiar 16th century close-helmet.

Thank you very much. That clears it up completely.

Inventories and receipts typically list objects by number of items. That's why it simple says 'three sallets' It's just an entry on a list.

that checks out

This is a biblical scene, and it's trying to depict the Medieval idea of 'Roman' armor.

Knyght Errant So wearing a smock underneath plates is not something commonly done if one is wearing mail? I can't say I'm surprised. Aventail liners and an inner layer of textile on Brigs and coats of plates help with mobility by keeping the mail from binding and dragging. But a solid breast plate wouldn't really need an intermediary as it would be relatively smooth.

'celata' and 'barbuta'
