Our channel is intended to discuss the skills needed to reenact, demonstrate and teach. We also discuss the historic context and research behind our findings.
Popula Urbanum is latin for people of the city. We are recreating the burgeoning middle classes in the 14th century.

There's a book _Le Tombeaux de ducs de Bourgogne_ which documents the history and restoration of the effigies of Philip the Bold and John the Fearless. It's in French, but there is a full English translation included as an appendix (so some flipping back and forth is required to pair the text with the appropriate images if you don't speak French, but it's worth it). For what it's worth, there is a plate that color codes the original elements and restorations on the sculptures themselves and in both cases, the helmets are coded as original with the exception of the ornaments on top.
Thank you, for the reference. As helpful as ever. My french is terrible as you can tell in the video.
I might help if needed
Thank you :)
I have been waiting for this one :) thank you
You are welcome. I hope it helped
Great video my friend, i really like your content and your videos are rich in information. The topic of this video brought me back a few years to when i was building my own bascinet, the liner/aventail was a challenge for me, but it was with the effort. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and research, keep up the good work.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. I think the aventail and liner for the bascinet is one of the pieces of the kit that baffles many of us. I know it did me.
Just getting better and better :)

Critical evaluation of our own work can be a fraught endeavour, but this is a wonderfully considered approach! I thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I think this video is a great example of what not to do as much as what to do.
@@PopulaUrbanum but also some insight as to how to work with what you have!
Yes that too! Sometimes it is worth altering something to make it as accurate as possible because it is what you have to hand.
@@PopulaUrbanum especially if the alternative to altering is going without for useful pieces of equipment.
Exactly right!
Ah the funk. :\ That's cool to see your helmet finished. Is there no hope for bending the visor wider to accommodate a new verveil line? I'm interested to see what, if anything, you do for combat re-enactment hand protection. It seems to me that although gauntlets are shown, most depictions of militiamen are bare handed?
The visor is tempered spring steel, so I am not too keen on trying to bend it to get the desired effect. As for and protection I am going to go with gauntlets, I am doing some research regarding this to better understand what I should be displaying. I have read somewhere that in the Flemish lowlands some militia were outfitted gauntlets made from whalebone - that although that claim not backed up at all. Not really something I am going to try.
Why didn't you make extra vervelles? It was possible
While possible, it is time consuming, the ones I have are cast, so I would like to match that look instead of making some out of a block of brass. If I can't find some to match, then forging some will be my next job.
@@PopulaUrbanum well... There is a simple way : you can turn a rod of brass on a drill and carve it with a file
This is true, and always an option
