    So the example you show that was made for Maximilian I. Because he was Holy Roman Emperor, would that make his helmet a Caesar's Sallet?

      @@bungtunger5345 Most high quality armors are custom made in private smith shops.
      You'd have to probably find the closest local one on social media and meet them in-person for measurements.
      Most of the best armor can't be bought online, unless you are able to commission something from a private seller.
      If you absoultely need to buy top armor online, Steel Mastery seems good but they are kinda overpriced and it would cost and arm and a leg. (unless you are rich)
      For lesser quality armor online there are more alternatives like Kult of Athena. However you need to be careful with Kult of Athena becasue they have a lot of bad stuff too.
      When buying online just tread carefully and do your research to make sure you get a good deal.
      But for top of the line gear that Ian Laspina has, is a bit more complicated to obtain.
      Hope I helped, sorry for the late and vague reply...

    Great video, sir. The sallet is probably one of my favorite historical helmet designs and that last example with the integrated bevor is really nice.
    One of these days somebody needs to organize a HEMA con and get you, Matt Easton (Scholagladiatoria), Skallagrim, Metatron, LIndybeige, and Thegn-Thrand as guests. Of course the logistics of such an event would be daunting since only 2 of you live in the US and you'd (ideally) want a venue where there's room for demos/workshops and sparring practice. But if it could be one it would be pretty awesome, its a pity that I don't work in the con organizing business, or know anybody that is, otherwise I'd try to organize this myself.

      Knyght Errant So wearing a smock underneath plates is not something commonly done if one is wearing mail? I can't say I'm surprised. Aventail liners and an inner layer of textile on Brigs and coats of plates help with mobility by keeping the mail from binding and dragging. But a solid breast plate wouldn't really need an intermediary as it would be relatively smooth.

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, there really is no definitive line. As modern people we are kind of obsessed with classifying things into mutually exclusive categories. There is way too much fluidity between one style helmet and another. A fully developed kettle hat will tend to flare out more on the sides and front than a true sallet, but they're not so dissimilar that there isn't crossover. Most barbutes from profile are really just sallets with extended protection on the face, so there's a lot of gray area.

    So its common knowledge that a sallet would obviously be paired with a bevor but it only protects the front and part of the sides. How did knights protect their back napes? With a mail coif or padded pelerine underneath perhaps?

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A mail standard (collar) is the most documented solution for protecting the back of the neck while wearing a sallet and bevor. There is also a lot of artistic evidence for certain bevors having a strip of mail directly integrated to wrap around the back of the neck. Lastly, the longer the tail on a sallet, the less accessible the back of the neck becomes to anything but upward attacks from directly behind which can make it less vulnerable than it may seem.

      That is a garter, and it's specific to the images from Fiore dei Liberi's fighting treatise 'Fior di Battaglia.' The gold garter is there to show the student which figure in the image is a performing the 'remedy' to a certain attack. If the person has both a crown and a garter, they are the 'counter master' and that indicates that the figure is performing the counter to the 'remedy' It was Fiore's system of showing students who was who in certain plays of the weapon he was teaching.

      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's no evidence for anything like that prior to the German sallets as far as I am aware. Visored bascinets for example were around for well over 100 years before the mid 15th century sallet and there is nothing on any survival, any description or any depiction in artwork that suggests any mechanism to lock the visor in the down position. It's just not a common thing on any helmet until we see it on the sallet, and even then it's only on some of them.

      This is very surprising, considering that helms with moving visor such as bascinets existed over 100 years before sallets. So the visor must have been tied. Anyway, thank you, I rly admire your knowledge and i rly like watching your vids, and waiting for more ;)

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why do you think the visor 'must have been tied'? It's very unlikely to be knocked upwards in a fight, and in a lot of cases being unable to raise your visor immediately is a liability. If you need to shout commands, survey the field, take a breath etc, you don't want to be fumbling with straps, or ties with a hand encased in a gauntlet. It's much more of a modern concern to lock a visor down for sport combat then it was a concern of people using this for real warfare. It's on the medieval equivalent of sports equipment (tournament armor) where we see the most safety features. The stuff made for actual warfare is far more mobile.

      Yes, the bevor just rigidly moves along with you in that case. It will bang around on the cuirass, but it can move.

      Thanks for the quite reply. And I just had a second question, a Bellows Face Sallet, does it belong on a Milanese Harness, or a Gothic Plate Harness. because I can find pictures of the helmet, but I can't find any pictures of a Bellows Sallet with any other armor.

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      In general, bellows-faced and other full visored sallets post-date the prime period of 15th century Milanese and Gothic armors. It would be more appropriate with an early 16th century armor, but there is a tiny bit of overlap in the last decade of the 15th century.

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're speaking English, it's pronounced GOR-jit or GOR-jet. It's been an English word since at least Middle English, having been Anglicized from the Old French _gorgete_ which is just the diminutive of _gorge_ (throat) in French. French sources instead seem to use the term _gorgiere de plate_ or _gorgerets de plate_.

    I just noticed that the Sallet is still the basic helmet for military and quasi-military militia soldiers today. Eye-protection has improves, NODs replaced the visor, and face-guards are generally just used for vehicle gunners, but the general shape has stayed the same.

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a pretty good design :) Most people recognize the sallet in WW1 and WW2 German stahlhelms but they are absolutely still in use today in general shape and function.

    • @flyboymike111357
      @flyboymike111357 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Knyght Errant I've heard people acknowledge that the classic stahlhelm was the inspiration for modern stahlhelm variants, so I can't see why they never noticed that the stahlhelm is just a ballistic rated sallet.

    • @tankermottind

      "I also have yet to find any particularly high quality barbute reproductions." Therein lies the problem. Yes, I definitely want to cover barbutes.

    is a stahlhelm a form of sallet?

    • @KnyghtErrant
      @KnyghtErrant  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Basically, yes, and it was far superior during WW1 to the American and British kettle hat design. Not because there's anything wrong with kettle hats, but the specific kettle hat they were using in WW1 was pretty crappy. Bashford Dean tried to push for a more sallet-like design for the Americans and British, but it was rejected partially because it looked too 'German'

    • @stephend50
      @stephend50 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Knyght Errant and the US steel pot is kind of a bascinet. I guess it makes the sallet the most popular helmet in history given the millions made in the 20th century and all of the current ballistic helmets used around the world.

  • @exohead1

      Yes, both are the English words for the described helmet type. Bascinet was pronounced with a hard T in Middle English.
