Medieval Material Culture - Quality: Then vs Now Knyght Errant 2020-04-29 | A common point of confusion within medieval reenactment is the assumption that low-quality reenactment products are approximating low-quality historical objects, but this is often fundamentally untrue in important ways.

The Palazzo Ducale Bascinet Knyght Errant 2019-11-29 | The ca.1400 great bascinet at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, Italy is one of the most curious medieval helmets to survive to the present day. Renowned armorer Robert "Mac" MacPherson has built the world's most accurate reproduction of this helmet with the help of Dr. Nicolas Baptiste, to better understand the real object and perhaps shed some light on the realities of a very misunderstood and often dismissed historical object.High resolution photo album of the reproduction helmet - https://flic.kr/s/aHsmHCmXaySupport the Channel - http://www.patreon.com/KnyghtErrantFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/KnyghtErrantInstagram - instagram.com/knyghterrantPinterest - http://www.pinterest.com/KnyghtErrantWebsite - http://knyghterrant.com#medievalarmor #palazzoducalebascinet #robertmacpherson #knyghterrant #bascinet

Medieval Living History: What We Do With All That Stuff! Knyght Errant 2018-04-13 | People always ask me to show more of what we do at events! Well, here you go! In this video I wanted to give you all an overview of what it is my living history group does with all the stuff you see in the videos and photos I produce.There are many different types of living history and re-enactment events out there, and while many of us take part in more than one kind, this is the type of event we most commonly participate in. This video is focused on an annual show called Military Through the Ages, a living history 'timeline event,' which occurs every March. This event features over 30 different groups spanning more than 2,500 years of history. My organization, La Belle Compagnie, is one of the participating groups and in this video we'll explore how we approach public education through living history.La Belle Compagnie - facebook.com/La-Belle-Compagnie-187757914577857Support the Channel - http://www.patreon.com/KnyghtErrantFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/KnyghtErrantPinterest - http://www.pinterest.com/KnyghtErrantWebsite - http://knyghterrant.com#medievalhistory#livinghistory#labellecompagnie#MTA2018#militarythroughtheages

Besagews, Rondels for the Shoulder and Armpit Knyght Errant 2018-01-23 | The gap between the breastplate and shoulder armor, or the opening in the armpit can sometimes be left vulnerable by even sophisticated plate armors.

Dating Armor from Effigies: Be Careful! Knyght Errant 2017-07-09 | Sometimes effigies can play a trick on you.

Early 15th Century Gauntlets, A Transitional Style Knyght Errant 2017-06-18 | Around the turn of the 14th / 15th century, Italian innovation in gauntlet design began to show itself in the evolutionary step between the tried-and-true 'hourglass' gauntlet to what would eventually become the mitten gauntlet commonly associated with Milanese armors of the later 15th century.

Armor Weight Distribution and the Modern Soldier Knyght Errant 2016-06-06 | Today we look at how the weight of my harness is distributed over the body and how the total mass compares to what a modern soldier wears in combat.My sword is 2.5 lbs, my pollaxe 4.5 lbs. Negligible compared to modern weapons. A tricked out M4 weighs more than all my weapons combined, and an M240 is 27 lbs by itself. Medieval weapons add little in the way of weight to the overall kit.Support the Channel - http://www.patreon.com/KnyghtErrantFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/KnyghtErrantWebsite - http://knyghterrant.com(US Army) The Modern Warrior's Combat Load - http://thedonovan.com/archives/modernwarriorload/ModernWarriorsCombatLoadReport.pdf(USMC) Lightening the Load - http://www.nrac.navy.mil/docs/2007_rpt_lightening_the_load.pdf
European and Japanese Armor Mobility (with Metatron) Knyght Errant 2016-05-30 | How freely can you move in European or Japanese style harness? Let's find out!**Correction** Metatron's armor should be reported as 32-35 lbs (14.5-16kg)***NOTES***The primary reason we chose two armors from 200 years apart is because we both had quality harnesses made specifically for us that happened to be from those times. The primary intent here is not to compare Japanese to European directly, but to show that both styles of armor are perfectly mobile from the standpoint of a person who needs to fight in them (it should be obvious that they were mobile enough to fight in since...well... lots of people fought in them... but for some reason the lay public is still skeptical that you could move in armor, especially Medieval European armor). Armor of course needs to fit properly to not artificially limit mobility, so we thought the value of showing two well-fitted armors was greater than trying to match the time periods perfectly while potentially sacrificing good fit. Otherwise you end up seeing people trying to overcome armor that doesn't fit which could have potentially backfired and perpetuated the myths we're trying to address.The second and less direct reason, which is really more coincidence, is that technologically, although separated in time, these two harnesses are probably more evenly comparable than Japanese and European harness both from ca. 1400. The shaping of European armor at that time was vastly superior to the equivalent Japanese harness which in my understanding incorporated very little anatomical shaping and primarily hung from the shoulders. The later Japanese harnesses (like the one in the video) took design elements from European armors to incorporate the load bearing lessons that the Europeans had already figured out. It is essentially Japanese armor with European influence.Metatron's Video - youtu.be/X2Wk4w9Z05wHelp Support the Channel - http://www.patreon.com/KnyghtErrantFollow me on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/KnyghtErrantWebsite - http://knyghterrant.com

Bocksten Man Style Cloak and Pattern Knyght Errant 2016-04-29 | Note about squirrel species! I put an annotation on the video but I know a lot of devices don't display them. I misstated the squirrel species as the 'gray squirrel,' which of course wasn't introduced into Europe until well after the Middle Ages. What I should have said was the winter coat of the European Red Squirrel. The winter coat of the red squirrel is actually gray (upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/MattiParkkonen_Orava.jpg). The Medieval 'menuvair' or miniver pattern is achieved by taking the white belly fur of the squirrels, surrounded by the gray fur of the winter coat (or other colors if not the winter coat) and stitching several together in square plates that yield the pattern. Other ways to cut the furs yielded different patterns (like the 'vair' pattern adopted for heraldic use), but squirrels were one of the most commonly used furs for lining garments in the Middle Ages. They eventually fell out of favor with the upper classes into the 15th century.A deeper look at the Bocksten Man style cloak, and how it's put together. Subtle, but often missed or omitted tailoring makes all the difference in the fit of this design over the shoulders and around the neck.

Common Modern Reproduction Errors: The Bascinet Knyght Errant 2016-04-22 | Bascinets are one of the most reproduced styles of medieval helmets, but the more popular they get the more we see departures from historical shaping and styling. Sometimes this is a concession for modern sporting activities, but we still need to understand what is and what is not historical or we will begin to lose the facts.XIV Medieval European Armor Group - facebook.com/groups/576077609195451Support the channel on Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/KnyghtErrantWebsite - http://knyghterrant.comFollow me on Facebook - facebook.com/KnyghtErrant
