max linger to Muslims Swine are unclean not sacred so they would have no problem bashing in a crusaders head/helmet with a mace!

Lmao I'm Muslim but I bought one of these on Amazon because I don't care

scarecrow gamer You have been watching quite a few of my videos on a row I see :D Thank you for your time ^^ and yes the great helm is a good looking one

Metatron No problem and thanks :)

Gerardo Maldonado I am glad you like my videos Gerardo, and thank you very much for subscribing :D Welcome :D

You could wear a chain coif underneath it.

Very good guess, yes you can have padding, or mail underneath the great helm, and in some cases even a secondary smaller helmet called bacinet. If you look well even I use a little white coif above my head for wearing comfort. You can kind of notice it if you pause the video at 4:26 when I wear it and at 5:48 when I remove it I pause a second to take the coif off as well :) every part of plate armour was worn above some kind of padding :D

Cool, thanks! I saw that little pad thing, and now I am glad to know what bacinet means! I have seen and hear that term a number of times but never knew what it was ^,^ That was a curiouse little pad thing! I totally missed it lol.

Yes, there were different styles and there were great helms which had better ventilation than the replica I have. Also consider that historically many knights would first wear a bacinet and on top of that they would wear the great helm, so at the end of the day they were wearing two helmets, the great helm being the second one, thus it's dimension, whish some times was really big. (as we see in some tapestries and medieval iconography)

possibly $90, matters

TeutonicPenguin I don't think the helm has a liner @4:24 you can see he's wearing a coif and I'm not sure if its the same one (or how good it is) but there is one on amazon for like $80. hope that helped

Thanks! I wasn't looking to buy it. (I already have 4 helmets. :p) I was just curious as to where he got it from. I've seen a few on ebay but they were waaaay overpriced.

Siegfried von Haus I would definitely go for the full closed great helm, I think it looks a lot better ;)

Siegfried von Haus you could even consider a sugar loaf one ;)

I've never been a fan of the sugarloaf shape. As far as looks I like the open back and closed equally, but the open back has much better ventilation and I don't think it hinders hearing quite as much. Btw, how comfortable is it when worn with a mail coif?

Believe it or not I find it more conforable when worn over a mail coif, but yes ventilation become quickly a problem if you intend to fight in it

Well I actually intend to wear it in public during the first week or so of summer, so ventilation still might be an issue

NubNaKub like a headpad?

generally, what was worn was an arming cap (perhaps with some padding) and a mail coif. however, and this became more common as the 13th and 14th centuries went on, a close fitting helmet called a cervelliere was sometimes worn under the helmet as well, later becoming the bascinet. it’s also very possible the helmets themselves had padding.

I'm not Metatron and this is 2 years late, but as someone who's been making a 13th century Teutonic Knight impression kit I've done quite a lot of research on the Order, including their helmets. The winged great helms, while they did exist, were not used in battle as far as I can tell because from personal experience they are in fact quite easy to grab. From the information I've managed to gather they were used ceremoniously, but before battle the wings would be removed or the helmet would be replaced by one without wings.

@@ubristanianempire4007 Crested helmets were used widely by German nobles, from personal experience I can tell, that the moment someone tries to grab them they expose them selves to the blade and would basically die. It depends on the crest you are using. I have an imperial Hand on my Helm, I imagine Wings or horns are a bit different also from balance, but they were definitely used in battle, maybe not by the teutonics, but by normal nobles. A manuscript from the mid 13th century tells us and I’m gonna try to translate the quote to English „Knights, with their crested helmets charging the Danish king“ this was a Description about the campaign of the North German lords against the king of Denmark, I guess we will never fully know, but it is very much possible that some mad lads used such helmets during cavalry engagement. We also have to consider, in the 13th century almost NO noble knights were fighting on foot, they were used to only fight on horse back during what we would consider a tradition battle.

Srachael lockheart some included leather suspenders

Leather suspenders and a strap on the chin

I could be wrong, but I don't think people will be driving any weapon purely across the top of your helmet. The person wearing this helmet won't bend their head down so that you can get a good shot on them, so really I think the weapon would be hitting the intersection of the top and the face -- the corner. Could still be bad, but maybe not because of the flat surface.

A curved top is better for distributing force sure, but this helm gives a +9 to your badassery and a +17 to your Deus Vult. With the full set it also adds a +110% to your chance of reclaiming the holy city.

erm, this was a combat helmet, not a jousting helmet. i think what you mean is that it was meant for horseback combat. in any case, there’s contemporary artistic evidence showing knights in great helms fighting on foot.

This video was aired 2 years ago ;)

PunkHippie1971 with the evolution of swords into longs swords towards the later ages flat topped helms became less popular because absorbing a blow that hits you directly on the top of the head would have very bad repercussions, broken neck, brain damage etc.

+Elite Khajiit a little bit

CoryZamparelli I was puzzled by that date aswell, because sometimes we read that it was surclassed by the bacinet and they stopped using it in the 15th century but then I have read people saying that it was used untill that date. Consider I made this video a long time ago and now I have more experience in matter of helmets, but what makes me think is probably what usage of the helmet we are talking about, because differentlyu from the Frog mouth that was only used in tournaments the great helmet was used for both tournaments and battlefield, so the later date could refer to tournaments alone. Another point of interest is the fact that I have seen in iconography a great helmet with visor, which did exist, and had the exact look of a great helm but couldbe hinged up, a sort of in between specimen of bacinet and great helm.

Very good points. I had forgotten to consider tourneys and the like. Well either way I enjoy the videos! In particular the video about games and their atrocious depictions of fencing.

CoryZamparelli I am glad you do ^^ many more videos coming :D

+UDK Dehumanized No, the first crusade was before the great helmets appeared. The earliest example I've seen of a depiction of what would be eventually become the great helmet are from the very beginning of the thirteenth century - just over a hundred years later. Mind you that's still an early form, basically just a facial mask attached to the helm.

Au, Thor! Maybe you own a Pembridge style greathelm, which is meant to be used with a bascinet underneath

Miesya i think it wasn't used since the XIV cnetury, it evolved in a another kind of helmet called frog mouth, also the visored helmets like the bascinet, the armet or the sallet were more practical in battlefield.

+christina arceno How strange, I checked and everything works fine with the audio so it might be a problem with your computer(mobile phone) ;)

Rodrigo Ugarte >:o
