- A video shoving how to dress in and wear armor (harness) from late 14th century. The harness is a detailed reconstruction based on the effigy of the Black Prince (1330-1376) in the Canterbury Cathedral, other relevant effigies, paintings in 14th century manuscripts and late 14th century armour displayed in The Royal Armories in Leeds. For more info about this harnes also see the following videos:

“I bet your mom still dresses you!”
“Well yes Kevin, it is plate armor.”
Ah, yes! Sir Kevin! The douchest of knights of the round table!
It's usually was a squire who would arm there knight or lord
@@rettyrex2401 Indeed. But Sir Lucas of the House of Woods would prefer his mother to dress him in his armour.

Ironically, You can actually move pretty well inside a suit of armour, hollywood depicts a suit of armour as heavy, bulky, hard to move, while in reality it was made and modified to benefit as much movement as possible without losing the protection part, so yes you can roll in a suit of armour, Dark souls was right.
Full plate armour of a knight is actually lighter than the modern soldier. yet hollywood shows those soldiers who are actually using heavier stuff to be the feather weight butterflies. XD
@@anonymousfortunes2970 yeah it's not like it's 1-2 inches Thick Or made up of Titanium
@@TheDoctorFromArknights exactly. Not to mention the entire weight of the suit is distributed throughout the entire body. And also you didn't need huge thick plates of metal, If the steel was on the spectrum of better quality you only needed a few millimeters of steel It'll work just fine. The problem I have with this video is he has a chainmail shirt, a plate chestplate, a chainmail hood. The coat ontop, and then the helmets chainmail. Armour isn't exactly heavy but damn all that chainmail still on your shoulders is like- it doesn't quite feel necessary. I also realize his chainmail shirt I don't think I saw a belt to hold the weight on his stomach. Sure he had the "belt" on the coat. But that belt was held by a pin and seemed a lil loose. It's not tight to his body so also the weight of that chainmail shirt is on his shoulders.
@@anonymousfortunes2970 I think it's an Extra Layer of Armour (The Chainmail I mean), if the Plate fails the Chain is there, more of a Safety Feature.
@@TheDoctorFromArknights that isn't a bad idea it would serve its purpose. But adding all that armour on your shoulders is still weight you'll be burdened with carrying. Honestly I'd sacrifice that part of the armour for a little less weight on me. I suppose it's just preference rather than it seeming like a mistake.
Watching these videos of people getting dressed in authentic pre-industrial era clothing has made me realize just how life-changing the invention of buttons and zippers were.
Look at how many buckles are in the suit. what you're saying is so true but at that time it was buckles that were amazing. they're secure like knots, fast to use, and sturdy. they did actually have buttons at that time but I believe they were cloth buttons. but in more modern times better buttons and zippers were the replacement of the many buckle you'd see in their clothing. that and also just two strings to tie XD
Bruh, buttons were already a thing.

I love how everything has a buckle. Except the belt.
Woww...the observation
probably the lether would stretch from the weight of the sword with time, since buckles have a very small pressure point. But i really dont know what im talking about here, just a wild shot
@@99teteu1 Ehhh, I mean if the belt is of super poor quality yeah, but knights could probably afford to have decent enough leather to be able to handle the weight of a sword.
I think the reason is as simple as fashion, and a coat of arms. That belt is supposed to be a coat of arms like the necklace thing he put on so a buckle would ruin it. Knights wanted to look good while fighting.
@@xxxxxx5868 It's likely about the weight of the sword.
Modern gunbelts have stiffeners of some kind to prevent the belt from deforming under the weight of attached equipment. I'd imagine this is likely the same idea.
Also, fashion.
@@franciscoscaramanga9396 I mean, you can still certainly holster your gun in a regular buckle belt. You don't need a tactical belt to attach a holster. A lot of people carry with a regular belt.

Men in 2020: God i hate tying my shoe laces everyday.
Men in 1400:
If by "men" you mean a few high-ranking knights who *could afford* a body armor (most Medieval era soldiers had no armor and would be lucky to have stolen a chainmail armor from a killed knight) and the few times they actually went into war, while spending 99% of their adult lives not wearing them, then sure. Also only the nobility and their hired mercenaries went to war back then. The by far most common class of people during the feudal era were peasants who grew crops, tended sheep and chopped timber for their landlords. And no, Medieval peasants never participated in wars.
Last of all. Medieval nobility also had personal assistants helping them getting dressed up in armor before a battle. Those were called a squire.

What fashion companies sell to men:
*Suits*
What men really want:
It's still technically a suit
@Gray Kin no it is not. Suit means an ensemble of garment all made from the same material. Hence the phrase "a suit of armor". English tailored suits are derived from armor, they make the wearer feel like they are in armor when not actually in a set.
Puppet1Show As a human I can agree.
I kinda wish guns got nerfed, so steel armor could make a comeback.
Sandy Hooker early guns didn’t kill armor economics did
Or maybe make armor out of a stronger metal material we dont know about or haven't invented yet.
@@laniusmaxon5281 We already have armor that can stop bullets, but guns are too easy to use. How many bows/crossbows can shoot ten thousand rounds a minute?
Jack Craven look at our user names that’s interesting...
@Machina_Dom There already was bullet proof armor back then. Around the time guns were being used in battle.
Thank you for creating this video to help educate those of us that are inquisitive and for taking the time to show the detail of how the layers are worn. Whenever I watch films I'm always very skeptical of armor that I see portrayed, as it almost invariably seems too light and of poor construction. I don't understand why in this time when we have access to so much information at our fingertips that we still have so many historically inaccurate portrayals in film today.
Plate over mail always looks so cool and classy. It's just surprisingly elegant.

@@maranathashalom9402 Dr. Ralph Moffat, A Companion to Chivalry, Chapter 9 : Arms and Armour
Any knight worth his salt wore his full kit often, so he was fighting fit. His armour was usually made to fit, and he could move well. It was tiring work, so even the fit could only fight at full throttle for so long. Age was between 15 and 35, above that increasingly rare and at the back taking their time. Being wealthy they could afford a better diet, and had time to train.
Archers were effective against horse at long range, and less well armoured, but not so much against a knight. Enough so that at least in The British Isles pitch battles were fought on foot. Though at short range, 30m and multi hits from group fire, then knights couldn't push through that as neither their armour nor shields could take that punishment.
Tactics and etiquette was so there was a good chance to survive a battle. High risk, high reward, but not suicide. Really depended on your team support as getting isolated was dangerous as the lesser troop mob could overwhelm the advantage knights had.
Being a knight was a rich man's game as the kit cost a bomb.
So cool to see all the layers that you don't get to see normally.

Good luck to anyone who thinks they can run as fast as naked me with 36kg
Also, weapons like flails or maces don't really care about armor, same with bows and arrows. You'd still feel extremely vulnerable, this was the equivalent of basically modern day military gear for our wars
@@GeoSlash99 The weight was all over the body so in the end it didn't feel heavy. Arrows couldn't penetrate plate if they did nobody would use it, however guns could so that's why everyone stopped using it. The whole notion that armor is heavy came from 16th century when they tried to make armor that would stop bullets and they did but it was so heavy no one really used it. It was used in English civil war for a time.

Arrows bounce off, so do swords, furthermore his knowledge of combat and training is far superior to your. Good luck
Well, helberds aren't really around during the 14th century but a mace seems good enough, as long as you're fighting opponents equally armored as this

Yes, they had bathhouses and they were popular. Bathing in a barrel was more of a rural thing, bathhouses they had these big pool like tubs that could be used by multiple people at once.

What a marvel of craftsmanship this stuff was. Almost impenetrable while still being surprisingly easy (if heavy) to move in.
No, not impenetrable - English longbows could penetrate plate armor, as well as crossbows that were as common on the continent. Armor like this did protect against swords, but was vulnerable to the main short hand weapons of the time which were maces, axes and clubs. A sword is a damn elegant weapon, but whacking away with that on a plate armored enemy is bound to fail. Then you have a lot of soft spots, like under the arms that are not protected by anything but padding and chainmail - this is where a sword could penetrate, but it took a lot of skill and luck to make a stab like that. Also padding and chainmail protects against open wounds (quite dangerous in a time without knowledge about germs), but almost nothing against crushing damage done by clubs or maces. In fact, open wounds, even if they were minor were considered to be the worst that could happen - broken bones could be mended, an infected wound... yeah, pretty much a death sentence. But the risk of wounds was the driving factor behind all armor.
But yeah, it looks damn cool.
Until you got knocked down.
@@Kojak0 actually most armor was designed with both weapons up close and far away in mind. The way the breast plate curves is perfect example your more likely to take a arrow to the stomach or neck than chest and even then most armor had both chainmail and padding to protect from penetration. All things taken into account armor was a sophisticated form of protection in just about any scinario other than a rock being dropped on you. The parts about maces and hammers being effective against armour yes because they were designed to dent or pierce through on a small surface and then make that small hole bigger this rending the armor useless.
@@jedi-rl1hq the maces and hammers being effective against armor isnt because of denting, its becouse of bonk
About padding: One of its primary purposes was dampening blows (naturally not for the armor, but the wearer) from weapons with crushing force. Or as the reply above me said it, "bonk". But don't imagine it sustaining the damage by itself, the plate armor helped well with that. Pretty sure it was useless against penetration, but not useless entirely, especially since it also makes the plate armor more bearable to wear.
