Joel: talks about how armour needs to be authentic and cohesive. also Joel: shows the picture of the Bashford Dean armour as an example of a 14th century armour that is not only NOT historically accurate, but also unusable because it's construction is not done properly on the faulds P.S I didn't say this to critisie you or anything, I just found it funny how you showed that even though after that you talk how you need to be accurate and cohesive. I think your research is great, and I'm looking foward to your 15th century suit of armour
Haha well pointed out. The Frankenstein armor is an inaccurate example but as you are well aware I am sure it's one of the only "complete" impressions of extent armor assembled of armor from that period so for the noobs out there it's a good example. But yes, not the most stringently accurate example. Glad you pointed it out :)
@@IronCrownWorkshop and that's the problem, they are impressions not full suits made specifically for one knight. if you want true historical accuracy then i suggest only looking at armor with concrete evidence of who made it, who ordered it, and if there are any other actual examples of the same style harness. custom armor is a myth, and all knights copied each other and liked to look the same and they never ever wore out of fashion armor because they'd be laughed out of the tournament and gain zero respect for they did not follow popular trends
If you're basing your impression for a soldier in the employ of the Burgundians, a great resource is the armor requirements that the ordonnance laid out to standardize the troops based on their position, armor, and pay. I am fairly certain such a document based in 1472 exists, but I'd have to ask around to find the wording of it
Really love your videos and content. I love the history of the Middle Ages, as I am writing a fantasy comic vaguely with that “aesthetic”, and specifically the arms so being able to see such in depth research really helps me to do my own research for my own designing.
That's incredible! Glad you found this helpful! We'll be adding more and more depth to the world and research as we go so hope that will be a source of inspiration for the world you're building
@@IronCrownWorkshop hi man, I'm a big fan of your work, but I think the plate era was around 300 years considering that most of the nobles still wore plate armor in the 30 years war, maybe even 350 years, if we take into consideration winged hussars and the second siege of Vienna( I personally consider the winged hussars to be the last legitimate knights in history)
I find it interesting that Brescia was under Venetian control by the 1420s, though it seems their culture and armor production continued to be associated with Milan.
That moment, at 2:45, when Joel says that the map of Europe was different from the modern one and in the center of the picture is a mosaic from the set "Assemble your Empire".😂
So happy to see you guys soon begin your next new project. Love the videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
this is such a high quality video! instant subscribe! it is just a matter of time till this will blow up! I myself just ordered a set of gothic plate armor for the arms and a gorget, cant wait to wear em!
cant wait for more. would love to see also videos about not well known armor styles like burgundian style armors and if these were real or just in paintings.. please go also more indepth. want to know everythimg you can teach us.
I'm assembling my own kit...Currently have a ROA bascinet, a standard Brigandine, and I just ordered some simple floating style arms and pauldrons. My whole look is more of a Merc who climbed the ranks....sort of homage to my own ancestry that I traced to the Seige of Callais, and the Bigod Rebellion.
I want to make historical armor but I have a dream. To create the perfect suit of armor that can protect from almost anything and also be wearble and moveble.
@@IronCrownWorkshop We have the same dream. I got the idea to get a suit of 15th or later century full plate armor and have it covered in enough layers of kevlar or a stronger material so it can defend from almost anything. Well, almost since i don't think it could defend from a tank or a bomb.
I have a strong preference for Gothic armor, with pauldrons that fully cover the shoulder area (no gaps between the shoulder & back/chest), and tassets so there isn't a gap between the upper leg armor, and the bottom of the faulds. However, Maximilian is a little too "busy" looking for me -- I like the more elegant look of the traditional gothic style, as shown in the video as gothic.
It's lovely to see new historical channels surging! I love the depictions you show, of course minus the Bashford Dean armor. One small question, what is the first artwork you show at 2:58? Thank you for your work and for bringing more information to the public!
By blacksmithing your armor like that you are producing very breakable pieces... Period armorers of high quality didn't alter the temper of sheet steel by heating it. There are many accounts of people in cheaper armor getting a hole poked in them, or having it break. Honestly, I wouldn't wear it in modern competition either. Heating it like makes it easier to work with but isn't safe for actual use.
The music is severely overpowering the interesting things you're talking about. You're speaking to history nerds, we're already invested in what you've got to say and it doesn't need to be made more dramatic. This is the first video of yours I've come across and it was a good introduction. I hope you'll have some more interesting videos. I just hope you've not spoiled good research and metalwork with overbearing "dramatic" music.
Very good content!

Excellent video! I just got into 15th century armors stuff for an artistic project, and you give so much info!
You deserve so much more followers
Ok monsieur, you have my full attention

I'll be following this project. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as my current harness which is approaching its 3rd year!

This Channel is underrated!!!
Why thankyou :) great to have you on board the journey!
I want to make historical armor but I have a dream. To create the perfect suit of armor that can protect from almost anything and also be wearble and moveble.
In other words a historical suit if armour, unless you mean also firearms and modern weapons of war because in that case we have the same dream
@@IronCrownWorkshop We have the same dream. I got the idea to get a suit of 15th or later century full plate armor and have it covered in enough layers of kevlar or a stronger material so it can defend from almost anything. Well, almost since i don't think it could defend from a tank or a bomb.
By get I of course mean make. A harness of plate armor is the price of a car.
Slick presentation Joel! Your workshop aesthetics look great. I don't have a clue about armour though.
Thanks mate!
Underated channel
Hey, history is my thing in Shorts videos. Your support through likes and subscriptions is appreciated!
Do you have any information on the Red Shield armory,located in Austria in the fifteenth century?.
Great stuff! Subbed
Cool

One small question, what is the first artwork you show at 2:58?
Thank you for your work and for bringing more information to the public!
Bravo
bravo
This is absolutely GOLD (well probably steel or iron but you know what I mean) 🤪🔥
Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it mon ami ;)
Class video gents
Thank you good sir :)
Legend
Man, that workshop makes for a really nice studio. Or vice versa?
Thanks! I built the workshop to be functional and a space to shoot in. Functional and beautiful, just like armour
who is the maker of the armor at 8:14
greate video
My hammer is at hand, I'm ready follow along.
Hell yeah Seth, glad you are by our side
do you sell any of the armor you make?
Contact us on Instagram or Facebook and we can help you out
