I'd say depicting the sword hanging vertically could be an artistic choice in 2D images and relief sculptures, they maybe angled irl.

I wonder if some people by that time were wearing a separate sword belt under the jupon and just wearing the plaque belt separately. If there's a smaller sword belt under the jupon, slung at 45* the image would make sense.

I am given to understand two methods were used in combat. an O ring attatched via a strap like the dagger. Also just a strap wrapped around the sword and looped around the belt. Both removed the scabord wich could get into the way. Whilst allowing quick acces to the sword. As to why the belt was worn so low on the hips was it was easier to draw the sword.

Nice Razer PC Ian XD Great video as well, nice job

!2th century scabbards are infuriating. Contrary to popular belief, the interlaced scabbard isn't something that's seen until the 13th century. The scabbard from the Sword of St Maurice of Turin is probably one of the earliest examples. Like the late 14th century, the swords seem to be magically stuck the belt. Most times vertically, other times, angled. To add to this, there are some manuscripts that show the sword and scabbard could be removed from the belt. Many have assumed that straps that are seen on the face of the scabbards have to do with the suspension. But some scabbards don't have them. And to make things worse, the one image of the back side of the scabbard(from the 13th century) shows that the belt simply passes through slits cut in leather of scabbard, essentially making a belt loop. The straps on the front don't seem to do anything.

Very interesting video, it gives a lot to think about. I love that you take the time to find contemporary depictions and accounts. Unknown technical details like this are always interesting to try to puzzle out and you do a good job making a case for your claims. Is it possible that the sword wasn't generally suspended from the belt at all and was just carried? Seems more practical if you've got a retinue of servants and squires. Perhaps the effigies are depicting the sword being lain next to the reclining figure? Why should a lord have to deal with the inconvenience of having a sword strapped to his waist all the time. Sword bearers are certainly a thing in other formal contexts. Or what about a simple hook or bent nail like you see on later scabbards? This would allow the scabbard to be quickly removed and handed off to a retainer or tossed aside so it wouldn't get in the way. It seems like if it's something that could potentially trip you up you wouldn't want it tied to your waist in a fight. Although you certainly see it physically tied to the waist in later time periods so I dunno. Could all three solutions have been possible concurrently?

@KnyghtErrant

+jaysbob This is by no means the 'only' way to carry a sword. This is just one possible solution to the problem of reconciling the vertical sword suspension from a plaque belt. One thing I didn't mention in the video, but there are a couple surviving plaques that have little hooks on them on which the 'staple' on the back of the throat locket can just be hooked over. This would give the same visual but it would not be very secure. It lends credence to the idea that the scabbard was typically not worn in combat with that sort of configuration.

My headcanon is that one (or two) big metal clip held it in place on the belt, not unlike the pocket clip of a modern pocket knife. That way it's actually more stable than just a strap, since the pressure of the clip keeps it steady on the belt; and you can easily remove the scabbard from the plaque belt when needed without unbuckling anything.

Just how much does your plaque belt weigh? Thanks for the inclusion of the medieval music. Nice touch!

Wonder if a none ridged scabbard was more common with those that wore it into battle/ I wonder how it would wear from horseback.

I don't really know how scabbards were illustrated in medieval art, but I think it could make sense to suspend some swords vertically. It takes a lot of extra straps to suspend a sword at an angle, and it could be that they only started doing it after swords got long enough that they would be scraping the ground if hung vertically. It's the most natural way to hang the sword, straight down. Maybe they didn't suspend the swords at an angle because that's how it's supposed to be hung, but because that's how it had to be hung. After all, the Japanese wore their katanas almost diagonaly. I don't know the ergonomics of drawing a sword at different angles, but I don't think it would make a world of difference. But then again this could be totally debunked by some illustrations, but it's just a thought.

Could the scabbard hook over the hinge pin

looking at the pictures of them with the belt and no scabbard you have to wonder if maybe they did not carry the sword at all, afterall by that point the sword was a sidearm with a polearm becoming the main weapon

For some reason I cannot share an image or link. However I would like to suggest taking look at the belt of Fernando de la Cedra. Even though it is nearly 100 years before the period, the decorated thingy there could be a solution to this question.

@KnyghtErrant

8 жыл бұрын

+Vojtěch Nosek Yes, the de la Cerda belt is pretty impressive. There are some 14th century plaques that seem to have a hook on them that would complement at staple on the sword scabbard, but for the de le Cerda configuration to work the hook / hanger would have to be reversed, which is also possibility.

If they removed the scabbard a lot it's possible they had a cord or string that could be easily untied by pulling one end of the string. I have no reason to assume this is true but it might explain how the swords look like they're levitating on the belt.

I also think that this suspension would be used in combat, since A. Cosmetically, the plaque belt would grind against the throat locket B. It's hard to draw a sword from a 90 degree scabbard C. With a longsword, the length of the scabbard would be longer than the stance from the belt to the ground.

Hi Ian, can you tell me how the individual plaques are manufactured? Are they cast or stamped or brazed? In what way they are attached to the belt?

Do you know any good resources on late medieval baldrics? It seems like most of the visual sources I have seen show it in the 12th-13th c. and then they seem to vanish until about the 16th-17th c.

@KnyghtErrant

8 жыл бұрын

+Evaldas Olberkis Definitely possible. With the sword in the scabbard, and a 45* staple, the weight of the sword would still end up twisting or pivoting to sit relatively vertical. With the sword out of the scabbard and a 45* staple, it might sit at an angle because of the lack of weight. As far as battle scenes go, showing scabbards at all in conjunction with plaque belts is pretty rare when compared to showing plaque belts and the scabbard completely removed (which a lot of people think is the more likely scenario). I think there was probably a lot of variation in how it was done in reality.

A bit of speculation on my part: Is it posible, that the reason the scabbards aren't shown in the illuminated fighting scenes is, that the scabbards weren't actually secured to the plaque belt at all, but that the sword was carried by hand and the scabbard thrown to the side in a fighting situation to prevent it getting in the way? Or maybe it's posible, that the scabbard was fastened to the plaque belt by way of a small hook going through a loop on the belt, such that the scabbard could easily be lifted off and thrown away?

+Finkeren There are some surviving hooks like you mention. They would work very well with the staple setup.

if you remove the scabbard you need to keep sword by hand all time thus not being allowed to keep other weapons like polearms which were quite more useful than sword against armored opponents. So i doubt they removed the scabbard, or if they did, they did not take the swords too.

I think typical equipment for knights of 15th century was polearm and sword as second weapon. Sword is not good against armored opponents (usually noblemen looked for other noblemen -in armor- to fight on same level) and you cannot use the sword fighting techniques against armored opponents in the crowd of a formation. Sword was more a status symbol than a good weapon.

+Johnny You have to keep in mind, that proper two-handed swords (late medieval and renaissance Claymores and Bidenhänders) were battlefield weapons, completely unlike arming swords and longswords, which were sidearms. As such, they weren't "worn" the way other swords are, suspended on your person, but rather were carried in hand or slung over the sholder like a polearm. On campaign they would sometimes be stowed away in the baggage train, but usually it would simply be carried by the owner, as can be seen on numerous depictions of Lendsknechts. There is some evidence, that at least some of these weapons had sheaths that covered the sharp part of the blade and protected it from damage and rust, as well as from doing damage. However, this was a sheath, not a scabbard, and was no used as a means of securing the sword to anything.In short: Two-handed swords were essentially polearms used only in war and (rarely) in duels, and they were treated as such.

This has to do with earlier centuries when shields were more prominent and larger.

Woah. This is boring.
