MEDIEVAL HELMET TOURNAMENT!

The Close Helmet was worn by knights in the late medieval era. Being a fully enclosing helmet with a pivoting visor, it was popular for jousting tournaments. The frog-mouth helm is a 14th century great helm that was very popular for jousting duels, but not used commonly on the battlefield. It offered great protection from lances, as its design makes it hard for pieces of broken lances to get into the wearers eyes. For great helms, it was also good for hearing and general awareness.

14th Century Armour Shaping/Fitting

All of these are by the armourer Augusto Boer Bront.

I cannot find the original place where these were posted, but they recently popped up in the United League of Armourers group.

The characteristic of this type of helmet is the rigid face protection, which gives the helmet its pot-shaped appearance. Since the face was completely covered it made it difficult to identify the knight in battle, the top of the helmet served to attach a special crest for identity. This helmet decoration, called "cimier", was mostly made of light materials such as wood, leather or parchment. Most of the well-preserved great helmets come from the graves of noble families. So this helmet hung over the hereditary burial of the von Prankh family in Seckau, Styria.

The von Pranckh family are one of the oldest noble families in Austria dating back to 1135 and the coat of arms depicts a helmet with these distintive horns. This helmet would have served to identify Albert to allies and the enemy on and off the battlefield.

A design of Sir Lionel of Arthurian Legend, or, as in the comic I’m preparing to launch in the next year, Sir Lionelle, the only lady knight of the Round Table. There’s a lot more to her design I’ll share later. What do you think?

Lionel is one of my favorite Arthurian characters, and I cannot wait to share my version of him. I have big plans! Are there any other fans of Sir Lionel out there?

points’ing a pauldron & rondel directly onto a knit sweater, like a demented mad man. Like a twisted fucking cycle path. Truly sickening, is nothing sacred to him??

just found out abt an annual medieval europe living history event that’s like less than an hour from my home? and one of my favorite people on youtube is the vice president of the event??

MEDIEVAL HELMET TOURNAMENT!

The Coppergate Helmet is an 8th century helmet found in North Yorkshire. It is a very complex helmet, especially for its time, with the inbuilt neck guards being uncommon throughout the entire medieval era. The frog-mouth helm is a 14th century great helm that was very popular for jousting duels, but not used commonly on the battlefield. It offered great protection from lances, as its design makes it hard for pieces of broken lances to get into the wearers eyes. For great helms, it was also good for hearing and general awareness.
