If you didn't use you wouldn't know if it worked.

That thing looks like it was dragged behind a horse all the way from England to the Holy Land.

@@RoberttheWise...and back to England too.

At what time?

@@internetguy2760 Thanks!

Horses can sort of only ever give side eye.

😂 👍

Here here... I concur... Lol

Thanks for watching!

And you have to imagine that any discomfort would be nulled by extra padding on the breeches beneath. Anything to protect the "crown's jewels"!

I think I’d have thongs permanently tied to the edges of the flap, for easier access when you had to relieve yourself. Having them on the flap would make it easier ti grab the flap and re-tie it

Also, undies could be adjusted accordingly. Reference the hilarious silicone taint pads integrated into modern bike shorts.

Yup, and getting slammed there with a mace or warhammer would suck just as bad, lol.

The late medieval 'gothic' stuff has visible maille under crackers in effigies and images, I always assumes the Milanese stuff, being significantly heavier was more for cavalry, and with that sort, we don't know what went on under the maille skirt as far as I'm aware.

I remember seeing a few sets of maximillian armor at the met museum in NYC with what looked to be chainmail boxers and codpieces. I don't know the correct terms or what they called them at the exhibit but I remember thinking both options looked more sensible than a mail skirt if you wanted to avoid getting unpleasantly upskirted by a long weapon or an enemy lying on the ground.

Oi Govnah

It honestly looks like a simple mail ‘skirt’ to me

The mail curves under between the legs , but you do need magnification to see it .

I make them whenever I have the time, thanks for watching and commenting though. It helps the algorithm and we are at the mercy of the system!

I agree! The way Mr. Kingsley tests the many materials and aspects of Medieval life brings to life so many details.

Ballroom with it's own postcode eh? - only in England . . . : )

From the way the way they fasten, I would suggest they are more like a mail nappy - the sort you would fasten with safety pins. 🤓

Quality is worth waiting for. It's nice that he doesn't slap up junk for views.

​@@misterhat5823 Exactly that! Quality over quantity.

But it could also damage the saddle faster if used without a piece of cloth between the two.

YES!!! ❤

YES! I was actually looking for a comment like this! I keep thinking, "It doth not chafe!"

You say that like you think it hasn't already developed its own ecosystem? I just hope he retires it before it evolves sentience...

Is this the second doublet? Or is he wearing his old one in this video?

Thanks.

Counterpoint: Western saddles do not usually have (a lot of) padding, and those were meant to be sat in all day (although mostly at a walk).

Also a lot of cavalry saddles from a time when there still were cavalry saddles weren‘t padded much and they are also meant for long distance riding. Then again, the riders didn‘t buy the equipment themselves in those days and the military didn‘t care that much about the rider‘s bum-comfort I guess. In medieval times when a knight was responsible for sourcing his own equipment I guess he would have been more attentive to his comforts.

Proper closed captioning would indeed be welcome.

@@ragnkja They will, they will. You have to wait a while, it does itself.

@@minerwaweasley1008 Good captions do not write themselves, and computer generated ones are too inaccurate to be of much use to me, because they’re just distracting instead of clarifying.

@@minerwaweasley1008 If you think good captions write themselves, try watching a speech-heavy video without sound, using only automatically generated captions.

@@ragnkja Good subtitles - of course no. Just like Google Translate will not give you a good translation. But for someone who reads English better than hears it, it is absolutely sufficient.

👍

Codpieces were definitely exaggerated!

Much of the,uh, ornateness of codpieces was social posturing of course, but there’s some evidence they were necessitated by the spread of syphilis making tactile sensations painful.

And exaggeration! Some of them do look quite ridiculous to our modern eyes

It was an unexpected result. I genuinely thought they'd be super uncomfortable!

His eyes thought, it’s like he’s seen a ghost! 😂

I do appreciate him every day.

@@ModernKnight Do you know coincidentally about Medieval Horsebread? Do you know coincidentally if its healthy or good for horses ? I have heard and read about it!

@@killerkraut9179 I‘m not going to lie, I had to google horsebread, to know what you were talking about. So I‘m not going to presume to talk about the particulars of the bread itself, as you probably know more about the ingredients and such that I do from that short search. However generally speaking about feeding horses bread-like substances: commonly only thoroughly dried and hard bread is fed to horses. This avoids mold to form. You could, I guess, also soak it in water right before feeding, to give it some elasticity and avoid any bloating or dehydration of the horse that might come with feeding it large amounts of bread. But then you would have to be careful not to soak it too long, so that it doesn’t go bad then. Today feeding bread is usually done as either a snack or because getting the old and unsold bread from bakers is cheaper than investing in grain. I‘m not sure how much of that was applicable to the medieval ages, where the cost of milling the grain down to flour and then to bake it potentially made even old and hard bread more expensive than straight grain. But this really is just something that came to mind.
