This “”durr only noble afford armor”” ideal is pure hogwash. It was true in the ancient periods and early Medieval era, But saying it about the 15th century is idiotic. 15th century people were more then able to afford this armor. Most chronicles from the 15th and 16th centuries show soldiers in full armor.

​@@ReplyToMeIfUrRetardedIllustration or??

No

Thats a sallet, the visor comes down.

No that’s a holywoodism, historically they we’re usually under the cuirass

@@Jerre_Pelzig Yeah, you wouldn't want the gorget sliding around overtop the cuirass.

I thought that at first, but then I realized it would be best for it to be underneath, since if it was on top, a weapon glancing off of the breastplate could slip under and into your neck. Unless of course it was attached to the breastplate, or it was nested into and behind a stopping rail (I forget what those are called).

@@Jerre_Pelzig ohh okay I see, thanks for the info! You learn something new everyday.

@@jjc173 it’s a bevor, it’s throat protection but a little more specific. The Bevor is the lower armor for a sallet. While a gorget is throat protection for armor, the second layer of armor on a great bascinet would be a gorget. This is just a different way of wearing the bevor it can come strapped to the breastplate look at some of graham turners artwork.

I think this is a modern reproduction of historical armour, not actual armour from the middle ages. It's incredibly well made and accurate, though.

@@necroseus then the title is clickbait

@@mr31337 No, it isn't clickbait. This is what the armour was like in the fifteenth century :)! It is a near exact replica, made to fit the person in the video. Armour is bespoke, and wearing an ancient set could damage the artifact, so craftsmen make beautiful and lovingly crafted replicas like this one.

​@@necroseus clearly the title should be, "Reproduction late 15th century armour". Is the armor fascinating & nice, yes, but absolutely that isn't the point. The title misrepresents the video, and it can easily be fixed by adding "reproduction" (or similar) to the title. Not adding "reproduction" is a deception, intended or otherwise, but a deceptive title is the definition of clickbait.

@@mr31337 Ehm.. Okay? This isnt deception at all. The title is perfectly descriptive of the style of armour. No where does it say it's an authentic set of historically made kit. This title is fine for both cases (historical or reproduction), and is not clickbait. If the title was "Genuine Armour from 15th c. Italy," or something similar, then this would absolutely be clickbait. But that isn't the case. Have a good day or evening :)

Agreed!

"Is it bulletproof?"

@@joeerickson516 yup

@@joeerickson516alot of 16th century plate armours were completely bulletproof

​@@BrodyAlsonzeat the cost of being softer if i remember

@@Ose-here yes, but as firearms became implemented, the more resilient and deflected late armors became, even its softness could protect from regular sword blows
