Historical suits of Armour

Everybody loves armour. And the metropolitan museum of art in New York has probably the best collection in the world, unless someone can show me another.

Here we go

Wouldn't this completely fuck up your vision and hinder your abilities to fight?

Most helmets restricted your vision. But it's better to see little than to see nothing after having your eyes stabbed out.

Generally you hit them with something big and heavy enough to cause crushing injuries and internal bleeding.

Are there suits of continental origin there, or just English? Either way, those are freaking beautiful.

I like how English interpretation of plate armor was somewhat distinct from the mainland.

Leeds has armours and weapons from around the globe, but a larger proportion of British origin or found ones.

If you ever go, I'd spend more than a day if you want a long, proper look at everything. I live close by myself, so can pop over when I feel like it.

Crushing weapons.

Maces and morningstars worked best for that.

ah I don't remember very well what it was, some kind of ceremonial hunting horn made out of bone, the room it was in contained a lot of rare pieces and oddities, I don't think this horn had anything to do with warfare.

This is going way back to the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

If you remember, Abraham had a cousin named Lot, and he had drunken sex with his daughters, resulting in the Moabite and Ammonite tribes.

Eastern and Western sentiments differ greatly, especially when relating to art. The East is not as much about the replication of visuals, but a translation into symbology.

Tower of London Exhibit tour stopped in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in 1980 at the Cincinnati Art Museum. That was very nice- thank you very much! A visit towards the NE corner of the same state offered some more armor at the lovely and impressive Cleveland Museum of Art in a permanent gallery dedicated to their collection, the Armor Court which also includes Horse armor.

...again blipping with feminine impact...
Here in the Arms and Armour section of the Kunsthistorisches Museum was ...this extremely scary suit of armor with a skirt? Were there actual women requiring feminine suits of armor? The waist seems small enough for a woman. The helmet has a devilish look, male or female. Was this suit designed to get the enemy wondering exactly what he was up against?

Armor like this dates from about the 1500s. King Henry VIII of England had a set like it. It was not made for a woman, but for a man planning to engage in ground combat. The skirt would protect his legs better than traditional pants-style armor. Form-fitting armor needs joints that bend. Joints mean there are gaps that a sword or axe or spear could penetrate. A strong skirt, covering the knees, might look unwieldy to us, but we might be glad enough to reach for one if we were faced with hand-to-hand combat.

Quoted By:

>>2512295
The fluted design of the skirt was not just a fashion statement. The folds made the armor plate stronger. But it was still not strong enough to block musket fire, which was slowly taking over the battlefield. Fancy suits of armor went out of vogue on the battlefield by the 1700s, although kings and princes sometimes wore them into battle as marks of status, much as they sometimes wore battlefield crowns. This seems ill-advised to me–why make oneself an obvious target? Still, there are examples of elaborately decorated skirted suits designed to be worn on horseback.
