Wow...such an informative documentary...as a child long time ago i used to watch films of knights ..the round table and everything related with this topics..but to see and hear all this explanations by all this experts is simple another level...you must excuse my ignorance ..but i presume all this armours were only for the elite people who can afford it...again..nice documentary..👍👍🇸🇻
Elder Scrolls is for, and made by, people who want to explore the deep recesses of what was possible in the past, but don't want to be limited by what the current world has to say about it. Overall TES is a very deep reflection of real human history, philosophy, and mythology. TES even has "Dragon Breaks" which are metaphysical events that allow multiple overlapping continuities to persist in the same universe. Meaning, more than one mythology can be true at the same time; even contradicting ones. Some races have multiple origin stories; this can be explained as different sources creating different entities in separate timelines, and then having them converge into the same species later. Going on a tangent though lol.
@@abominationdesolation8322 "Going on a tangent" has never been more evident than in your random post on Dragon Breaks. Morrowind will always be my favorite for lore. Re-rolling as an unarmored projectile throwing stealthy altmer focused on alteration and mysticism and immediately raiding the +10/10 attribute ring directly west of the starting point coast line sounds soooo much fun. Then head slightly east and north, loot the falling man and gather shrooms for the first balmora mage guild quest... OH THE JOY
I'd love to visit these museums and see all the armor and I suppose they know the history of some of the suits, such as do they have the Black Prince's armor? I'd imagine they do... or maybe his spare armor.
I came here to see if anyone else noticed. I wanted to say something, especially with it being a British museum (obviously. Lol!). Interesting. I guess they see it as an evolution of armor. It makes sense
Who was the young French knight who eventually posted announcements inviting all comers on certain dates in certain cities? He traveled Europe and won so many times he would essentially book a field, have his tents set up for a part of the year and wait for challengers. I keep forgetting his name. His records are very detailed about weapons, techniques and injuries.
Toby Capwell is a treasure in himself in this field. He has designed and has had harness built to actually fight in and that formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation. His English armor, in black and gold is stunningly gorgeous while being absolutely functional. That harness is for fighting on foot, so naturally he had a second made that is optimized for mounted combat and the list. Talk about living the dream, Dr. Capwell has certainly lived his, while taking his lumps in a knightly and manly manner. Henry VIII gave up fighting in tournaments after he was unhorsed at a tourney in 1536. He sustained head and limb injuries, some before that event, that plagued him for the remaining 11 years of his life. Some of the changes observed in Henry were mental; he was mutilated in mind and body by his lifelong love of knightly combat. Henry VIII died at the relatively young age of 55 as a very old man.
@@audreyricci6383 Actually, average life spans were shorter then mostly due to the very high rates of infant and child mortality. That was true of the US also in the mid 19th century. Medical science reduced infant mortality rates after the middle of that century and that accounted for most of the increase in average longevity. That means that late 60s into 70s was not uncommon for an adult life span. Henry abused his body for most of his life, with gargantuan appetites for food, drink, women and fighting, so he died a very old man st the relatively young age of 55.
My experience is 1996-2011 wearing body armour as part of a swat team. Regular training and assessment in 30°c temperatures. Wearing kevlar and ceramic plates, thigh rig, pistol, belt, braces, load carrying overvest, ammunition, stun grenades, balaclava, helmet. The description of breathing and moving in medieval times, if having everything just right, taped fixed together, being able to don the gear, and help your buddy to, vision protection, a feeling of confidence in your skill and armour. It is pretty accurate.
@@ongobongo8333 Youre right. We are bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, more skilled, better trained, with better weapons, better armor, we have better medical and logistical support. You are correct, our superiority makes comparison irrelevant, any combat between knights and modern soldiers would be finished in seconds. It would be the kind of fight the victors would regret winning, it would be butchery, not a fight
@@nothanks9503 of course they do. All their games rely on social connections and community. I'm always impressed with anyone who will dress up and totally embrace a character, while in public. I'm overly shy, and worried about looking stupid, which ends up making me look stupid.
@@myswanktrendz Thank you! I don't get why people don't understand that. Table top roleplaying games inherently require a group, so, even if you don't already have a group of friends, you atleast need the social skills to be able to get along with people and operate in a group in order to play TTRPGs. People are just too caught up in 1980s stereotypes.
The injuries that one man was describing to the brain, getting hit in the head at force and it causing the brain to hit inside the skull, is exactly what causes CTE in football players. And a lot of CTE sufferers have ended up killing themselves. People during this time would have had no idea what CTE was, but I do wonder if, over a lifetime of combat training and jousting that would have started in childhood when the brain is extra vulnerable, it was also happening in knights.
Man, is it just me or does Toby seem like a person who yells at his wife behind closed doors and is verbally abusive to service workers? Maybe it's the unblinking, aggressive eye contact he's making with some off-camera producer.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but society changes over time. Yes, there was once a time when the wealthy politicians were also the top military brass, and, given the style of fighting at the time, they couldn't do that remotely from a Situation Room like today. In the Middle Ages, specifically, a king was expected to literally lead armies into battle. Watching from safe distance wasn't acceptable. He'd have gotten a reputation as a coward or a weakling, and that would be a problem for him politically because it'd lose the respect of both the nobility and the common people. King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem led armies into battle even as he was in the advanced stages of leprosy. Yes, there were still plenty of peasants who were conscripted into infantry grunts that were just sent into the meat grinder to die by the hundreds. But they weren't knights. Being a knight cost money, so only the wealthy could do it.
Fun Fact: while England 🏴 was still in the medieval ages figjting with knights during the War of the Roses, Spain 🇪🇸 was alteady colonizing America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
The end fighting scene was pathetic they could have done a better job. Watch some vintage chinese kung fu movies of 1970's were they fight with swords, halbart puts this to shame.
Good vid but I find it awful that your society has taken the title of sir and turned it into a reward you get for becoming famous or popular. A word that used to mean honor and respect now has nothing to do with either. It's just a title you throw around to make people feel good. It's a shame!
yeah I get it other languages would say it differently poll axe meaning head axe??? cause the axe is on the head of the shaft??? have we seen many effective axes where the axe is mid shaft?
Fighting with melee weapons while wearing knight armor should be a right of passage for ALL men. Ballistics are good for protecting grandmas from muggers... but men need to be able to fight without being harmed or harming each other. Not serious harm at least.
There are still plenty of clubs that do jousting as a sport where they do literally ride horses at each other with a lance, so I'm sure he was just talking about participating in one of those.
"Throughout history, men and women have faced one another in personal combat." Excuse me, women? I thought this was supposed to be a serious documentary, not feminist nonsense. If you're willing to lie to your audience like that, I can't trust anything else you say. I want to know what actually happened, not your fictional version of history.
Forgotten? Is it really forgotten or just a very expensive and unnecessary trade that has a painfully small demand? There are very few people getting paid to make armor because we don't need armor anymore.
The “late 1400’s? The Tudor period didn’t begin until the mid 1480’s. I think what you meant is the late 15th century and conflated the name of the first decade of the century with the name of the entire century because you got confused about how to add 1 to the name of the century.
That line was not about wars, it was about another episode in this series that looked at female prize fighters in Georgian London. However, historically, women were much closer to combat than people think. The image have of an old timey woman waiting for her brave soldier to come home from a far off war largely comes from the 19th and early 20th century. Before then it was very common for a man's family to go with him on campaign. If he was wealthy it could be his entire household. One of the noblemen with the biggest army in the first crusade brought his entire household including his wife and daughter, daughters-in-law (his sons came too, but they were also knights) and several priests to help him with prayers. When it came to common folk, they wouldn't necessarily travel with an entire entourage like a rich noble, but if a peasant got conscripted into the army it wouldn't have been unusual for his wife to go with him. Women didn't usually fight, at least not offically, but they did help out around camp with the wounded and there are reports of times when a camp woman ended up taking over for someone who fell. One famous example: Mary Ludwig Hays was an American woman who went with her husband when he joined the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. She spent the infamous winter in Valley Forge with him, and then at the Battle of Monmouth took over loading the canon he was responsible for as an artillery man when he became incapacitated.
Try and hit that gap while homeboy is trying to get you, I guarantee it's a lot harder than you think. There's a good reason the sallet was an extremely popular helmet for so long.
Man, I forgot how (nearly) successful Ned Stark’s *“Medieval Fun-Time World”* was! So brutal and bizarre! Turn out for their renaissance festival was great that year, despite poor Ned & Robert Baratheon’s their near fatal encounter’s with Peter’s tainted kitten meat burgers! And not to mention Robert’s other (eventually fatal) injury biting his own tongue when announcing the joust! Hard to believe all this history occurred only a little more than 10 yrs ago! Truly one of the best moments to be alive! back when “Jazz Hands” could forgive any number of farts. If all this sounds nuts, look it up.
