Knight in 13th century armour

- A presentation of the armour used by the late 12th century and early 13th century knights. The video shows how the armour is reconstructed and presents the sources it is based upon. See also the video Dressing in late 12th Century harness.
0:15 and on looks like a Civ 5 leader screen.
Holy hell dude, did you have someone stab you with sharp weapons to test your armour? That's some faith in your gear man.
the sword was blunt, but the spear was sharp
probably not the first time they tested it though
This is a trial of courage every young Norwegian has to follow. They also have to catch salmon from a creek with their bare hands and club a baby seal.
It's not like it doesn't happen, the guy who made some bullet-resistant body armor shot himself to test it
Jrlomay0616 That would be odd, it stops penetration but the blunt force would still fuck him up?
For all who wonder what the wonderful music is in the beginning, it's a soundtrack called "Northern Pastures" by Two Steps from hell (Nick Phoenix & Thomas Bergersen). And awesome video Ola as always! :)
It sounds like a death metal band
slash resistance +15%
+100 armor LVL UP
More like 100%. Maille is pretty goddammed good against cutting weapons.
The problem with maille was it was terrible agains’t impact so a simple Warhammer to the ribs would most of the time kill them.
@@CosmicHandOfDoom that's rough Buddy
Zaid Hernandez Hmh, painful is an understatement.
One of the best informational videos about 13th century armor, especially since you show everything in details and with real examples. I really enjoy the focus on showing the practicality of the objects used!
I was looking for some information on some post-viking Scandinavia. Cool.

Great Video! Your armor seems to be one of the best researched i have ever seen. And lovely scenery your are riding in :D
But could you tell me, which source the outer gambeson is based on? I have never seen one on effigies.
Thank you very much!
My answer to you was wrong I thought your question was referring to my video of my 14th century armor, but now I see that your question was regarding was my late 12th century harness. My most important source for this is as the video mention, the Maciejowski bible and the effigies of William Marshal and his sons in Temple
Church. The Maciejowski bible shows both the aceton (the inner gambeson) and the gambeson (the Outer). Sorry for this misstake!
he gets to ride around wearing armor. I am green with envy.
He is just ready to be transported to 11th century.... Who knows when that may happen, better be prepared.
If you want a good laugh turn on the captions
How did you realize this
Great video! It's amazing how you made that Gambeson yourself, it looks perfect.
this is treally really good stuff, thank you so muich for presenting it, its rare to see someone cover this period, as well as having a kit this well made...
2:42 when you switch between 13th century knight and crocodile Dundee
2:12 I remember how they portrayed Sir William Marshal in "Robin Hood" 2010
He was a true badass.
Great video.
Excellent! I’ve always wondered what type of armor the norsemen transitioned to. Very much like mainland Europe.
This was great! I had previously thought that the terms aketon and gambeson were used interchangeably. I didn't realize that the gambeson was generally worn on top of the aketon/mail or the aketon by itself. That's fantastic to know, and makes a lot of sense! Also what recent finds determined that the coif had lining added to it? Curious to know. Anyways thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and research!
There aren’t any recent finds supporting it that I know of and frankly it seems implausible. Why would one wear a cloth coif under his mail coif if it were padded? To say nothing of the total lack of lining in any visual depiction of a doffed mail coif
The coifs of the 13th century were also very form fitting, snugly hugging the head from the neck to the chin which uh cannot be said for his reconstruction at all
Looks pretty cozy for a cold british morning
Filthy rich men at arms and spear militia , with ye bloody chainmail and fancy horses , as a longbowmen , I only wear Gambeson , some leggings , maybe mail if lucky , and a kettle helm , but not this
Archers would be wearing brigandines, helmets and plate armor on arms and legs later on so just wait a few centuries.
Aurourus really?! ( patiently waits a few centuries)
I subbed. Very informative video, thank you for that.
What language are you speaking its very Smooth Sounding
He speaks Norwegian
It's amazing how weapons and armors were almost identical throught Europe in the middle ages. And not only military gear, but also clothing fashion.
Yay TH-cams algoritm finally provided me with something of value! Great video
Tusen takk Ola, å se og høre en nordmann i nesten historisk korrekt rustning og utstyr gjorde dagen min komplett! :D
Every time I see a norwegian video I think:
"Hey, I understand what they're saying!"
Really good research; getting in to the technology of 12th-13th armor. Hope you do more of these.
So aketon is lighter worn under mail and gambeson is thicker sturdier over armor, worn over mail?
And you can wear a gambeson over aketon?
Neat
Interesting that his aketon is even heavier than what was considered “thick” in 1311 Paris (2940g). In general there seems to be an anachronistic and quite frankly excessive fondness of padding in this impression (granted, this video is quite old so it could be that he has changed elements of it over the years).
Very informative video. But just a quick question, was the gambeson also used without chain mail?
Yes!
Yes, and it seems the far majority of infantry wear gambeson in Europe, until Brigandine and Munitions Plate become popular. Maille is really expensive to make, you see.
Your equipment is really accurate. Were the great helm common in 1180-1200th?
Pre cursors to the great helm were around in 1180-1200
Precursors existed but in general the great helm wasn’t very common until the mid-13th century, and then only in the service of richer lords/knights. This of course varied regionally.
William Marshal is a hero to England. He saved the country from a French conquest.
Even if he was french himself ; )
@@TomZanovich Norman. Not French.
Makes me wonder how often a aketon or gamebeson was set aside for just a tunic in summer months or when major combat wasn't expected but some form of readiness was desired
At first, I was angry at the lack of coat of plates, then I saw "early 13th century".
This man's armour is awesomely ridiculous 😮
En helt fantastisk video! Jeg har et spørsmål, hvor godt utrustet var en norsk ridder på midten av 1200 tallet sammenlignet med andre land? Fortsett med det gode arbeidet ditt, du er en inspirasjon.
I'm interested in the exercise plan for wearing and fighting in armor.
Man how they even walk with so much weight on them?
Very edifying, thanks. It appears that there were no big changes in the armour between the late 11th and early 13th centuries for the area you are talking about.
Hur vanliga var riddare i Norge? Vet att det inte fanns så många i Sverige, vilket jag tycker är synd.
på 1100 og 1200 tallet var faktisk Norge et større og mer ressursrikt land enn Sverige som da stort sett bestod av området rundt Vännarn og Vättern. Den Norske kongen hadde en velorganisert hird som blant annet kjempet til hest. Les om Håkon Håkonssons felttog til Värmland i Håkon Håkonssons saga. Her beskrives den norske millitærmakten godt. Når du kommer utpå 1400 tallet har situasjonen endret seg og det er langt flere riddere i Sverige enn i Norge.
Intressant, tack för svaret! Antar att detta berodde på rikets bättre strukturer och resurser än terrängen?
Hello sir how are you and I'm seller chainmail armours helmets and manufacture contact me my WhatsApp number 08393044168 my from India..
Torgeir, can you please speak english?
10:15 36.4 kg is 80.25 pounds
Well made video! May I ask you two questions? Could you tell me your mail supplier, and how do you clean the coif lining with the mail attached to it?
My mail supplier is GDFB, www.gdfb.co.uk/. I use the mail withe the smallest rings. To wash the lining, cut it out, wash it and sew it again. So there is no easy solution. In the Middle Ages, you would of course have a servant to do this.
Why's the outside layer of linen on the aketon more coarse than the inside layers?
I use cheaper material padding
I see that your kite shield has a shield boss. This is not the first time I see this as many other reenactors do the same, but I have always thought the shield boss became useless if you only used a forearm grip such as with the kite and heater shields that knights used. With a round shield or celtic oval shields a shield boss is essential because of the balance with the center grip. Is there any evidence that suggests they used shield bosses on kite shields? Perhaps the center grip was used during a shield wall, while the forearm grip was used predominantly on horseback. What do you think?
Illustrations of shield boss on early kite shields exists, but as far as I know, they had no practical purpose. One theory is that when the kite shield emerged, the shield boss was kept on the shields as a decoration for a period. In this video, it would probably be most correct with no shield boss on the kite shield.
Ola Onsrud I have my little theory about this boss on kite shields. In this period they didnt have such a good metal like we have nowadays. Hitting with sword on boss could break blade I think.
Wow, thank you so much for this wonderful and informative video. I appreciate it VERY much.
the horse is realy cute and the armour is nice
Amazing work, hälsningar från Sverige!
Thanks so much for the information
But It Is steel or alluminium?
I'm reading Parzival at the moment. And this video has shown me what the Knights would have looked like.
The amount of work gone into one harness is mind boggling. 🤪🤪
Could you tel, me where to get the mail and ake ton?
For mail try gdfb.co.uk. They also have aketons but not as good as mine which I have made myself.

what's the music at the beginning?
Its a soundtrack called "Northern Pastures" by Two Steps from hell (Nick Phoenix & Thomas Bergersen). Great piece of music. Good day to you friends :)
Any thing by Thomas Bergerson is nice

uah!! fantastico! 👍💥💥💥👍🐻✊💥💥💥🐻
Hei. Hvor fant du mønsteren til Aketonen? Laget du den selv?
Jeg har laget den selv, basert på manuskriptene jeg viser fram i filmen.
Wonderful. I thought that an AKITON and GAMBISON were the same things.
Thanks, sir. I am going to write a book about baltic crusades and some sources telling us about scandinavian knights, merchants, and the others, you mention in the video, are just priceless. Thanks a lot.
Will you mention the Teutonic Knights as well?
@@KristinkaAranova partly.
Dette var interssant, jeg lærte en god del her.
You should make a video about earlier coats-of-plates in 13th century Scandinavia
ngl any language you get a grasp or idea what it is, you can tell when someone speaks German or french hell you can tell the difference between Chinese Japanese and Korean so Believe me when I say I HAVE NO FUCKIN CLUE WHAT HE'S SPEAKING
Norwegian
Its Norwegian but you are right to say it sounds German.
I think I’m moving to Europe. The ability to speak and consume so many cultures and languages and history all within a few hours of each other. I miss my time in Europe. I miss the architecture. Thank you for the video as always!
excellent !!!! congratulations for this very beautiful reconstruction !!!!
Was not expecting that
could you tell me the origin of the red and black ring of material on your helm. thanks
I wanna know why the Bible has Arabic language writings in it .
It is because the Shah Abbas I of Persia came into possession of that Bible in 1604 and he had it translated into Persian and Arabic.
Wonderful incredibly informative video! Thank you!
I think he's getting a "coat of plates" confused with the later "brigandine".
Love the kettle helm
I know I am a few years late but I really enjoyed this video and your other videos like this.
I love this video and your armor videos. It makes me want to read more into my faiths armor from the Holy Land and the Middle East.
En av de beste våpen historie videone jeg noen gang har sett.
Google translated it to gun history, very funny. A knee slapper.
kingdom come delivrance player here ?
Jesus christ be praised! Henrys come to see us!
I'm getting a figure from Coomodel that is that knight
So cool
Very good video - thank you for the information!
veldig bra lagd video, informativ og faktuell
How did knights prevent heat stroke from all those layers?
I believe Europe was colder before the industrial revolution, I think we heated the planet the last 300 years with the factories pumping smoke and chemicals out the chimneys. I heard something about a mini ice age that was around a few hundred years ago so the summers would not be as warm as now.
@@eddard9442 Makes sense.
Bravo and well done. I really enjoyed this look at your equipment and the historical context of it. I especially like seeing you with all your gear on horseback.
Gaddare easily peveinto this armor.
I didn't see any tanks, final credits are a lie.
It is a great education material ! I am also interested in 13th century reneaction. In first minutes of the movie i noticed that you are sitting on a bench, is it also dated from 13th century ? If Yes can you please provide me with a source ? Thank you and keep up good work !
Unfortunately, I have no source on the bench, but the ornaments are typically Gothic 14th century.
Como é que eles faziam para urinar e defecar com toda essa armadura?
great film! bravo!!
Meget bra videoer, og denne var intet unnak. Informativt, spennende, og en flott drakt/brynje.
where can i find a sewing pattern for the aketon?
HeiHvilke type ringer er det i denne brynjen. Ser ut for at der er både runde og flate ringer? er det 6mm eller 8mm ringer? Bestillte akkurat en brynje selv fra GDFB. 8mm flate ringer dome riveted. Er det noe som er mer historisk korrekt en andre? Har lest på nett at flate ringer kan være mer ubehagelig å ha på en runde ringer. Har du noe ærfaring om det?
Se: www.gdfb.co.uk/chainmail-roman-40-c.aspDet er brynjetypen jeg bruker i denne videoen.
outstanding presentation
thick ass armor

Fantastisk å finne dine videoer om dette temaet fra et norsk perspektiv. Du har nå en ny abonnent.
Very Nice!
This is great, thank you for sharing. XD
Hope all battles were in winter .
I’m getting into the whole renaissance fair and medieval Cos play, I have a few questions. Was there like an official uniform of knights and soldiers in the Middle Ages or did they just wear whatever armor was avaible?
There was no official uniform. Knights wore what they could afford, they didn’t show up to the battle field looking the same
Plus, armor changed tremendously throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance isn’t even medieval
Svetlana Kuznetkova ok thank you for the information now I’m less stressed
Well sorry for replying to a 9 month old comment but this is what I have to say. Knights and common soldiers did not technically have an official uniform, however people typically wore whatever armor (and clothing) that was the best or most popular for the time, as long as they could afford it.
For example, in the 13th century almost every knight would be covered fully in mail like you see in this video, and they would look very similar to one another except they might wear a different helmet, have a different surcoat, and might or might not wear a coat of plates.
Great Video! What is the song at the beggining?
From which supplier do you get your mail from (if you don't mind me asking).

@@olaonsrud It looks like the 6 mm. version.

I'm intrigued and jealous.
Thanks for subtitles.
do you habe any evodence for a Lined Mailcoife? I want to get one and I don't knoe if I should line it...
Look at the effigies of William Masha and his sons in Temple Church in London. It is found one in Sweden with traces of a linen lining. Linen however deteriorates fast so little linen has survived. One belive that you found both coifs With and without lining. It is however, so many practical advantages in having lining in your coif.
ok, thank you allot for the quick answer. I'll do mine with Linen Lining than. Btw: Very nice Kits, both 14th and 12th/13th Century!!
Great video thanks for the overview of the kit.
You have any blod or fan page? Great video.
Sorry, I have not
