Shame the flat top was so susceptible to blunt force, which made them construct it with a rounded top later on. I personally think the flat top version looks a lot better (and more iconic), but looking better obviously won't save you from injury or death. It also looks intimidating as barely any other helm (maybe some decorated ones) though. Just imagine facing against a line (or multiple even) of knights or soldiers wearing these.

Another great video, you are the master of presenting important information and lots of it within a short space of time.

You could wear a chain coif underneath it.

Can you also show the insides of your helmets? What's in there? And could you also wear it together with a mail coif?

I just want to add, there is no vision at your feet. You have to anticipate where you step. You just can not see or even look very far down. Condensation build up is also a fun, drippy, bonus.

it would be cool to see a video go over the barbute if I spelled that right

Sir. Metatron. I was wondering if you were going to acquire, and teach us about the Sugarloaf helm. I believe it was also in the Great Helm Family, so to speak?

Excuse me but what is your head circumference? And what supplier provided the helmet in the video?

Swaggersouls anyone?

I have a question how do you put a hand on top of your great helm

Interior suspension?

Is the helmet loose during activity?

It looks quite great, some very interesting history too! So what keeps the helmet separated from the head? Like if there was a strike on the side of the helm, is there anything to help cushion the impact from the helm to the head? I would think there might be a pillow type thing at least on the top area?

@metatronyt

Very good guess, yes you can have padding, or mail underneath the great helm, and in some cases even a secondary smaller helmet called bacinet. If you look well even I use a little white coif above my head for wearing comfort. You can kind of notice it if you pause the video at 4:26 when I wear it and at 5:48 when I remove it I pause a second to take the coif off as well :) every part of plate armour was worn above some kind of padding :D

I should think that more breaths would be desirable for better breathing and ground vision, with a 2nd layer of steel for reinforcement. Were there more expensive great helms with those features?

@metatronyt

9 жыл бұрын

Yes, there were different styles and there were great helms which had better ventilation than the replica I have. Also consider that historically many knights would first wear a bacinet and on top of that they would wear the great helm, so at the end of the day they were wearing two helmets, the great helm being the second one, thus it's dimension, whish some times was really big. (as we see in some tapestries and medieval iconography)

Where can i buy one? *-*

Must take a lot of research to make this, well done.

Hey you know how is called the "turban" that some crusader helmet have? For example that "turban" that teutonic knights helmets have

I metatron, I have a question about Horns on the Great helm ( specifically Teutonic models ) Nearly everyone with which I’m talking about the Teutonic Knights is saying that these helmets were very easy to grab on the wings or horns, is there any truth about that ? I personally don’t think that it would have been that easy to just grab a knight who trained his whole live on his helmet/ horns and then kill him, what are your thoughts about the horn decoration ? Practical and designed for battles or just a cool looking but unpractical piece of helmet ?

@ubristanianempire4007

Жыл бұрын

I'm not Metatron and this is 2 years late, but as someone who's been making a 13th century Teutonic Knight impression kit I've done quite a lot of research on the Order, including their helmets. The winged great helms, while they did exist, were not used in battle as far as I can tell because from personal experience they are in fact quite easy to grab. From the information I've managed to gather they were used ceremoniously, but before battle the wings would be removed or the helmet would be replaced by one without wings.

@Philipp.of.Swabia

Жыл бұрын

@@ubristanianempire4007 Crested helmets were used widely by German nobles, from personal experience I can tell, that the moment someone tries to grab them they expose them selves to the blade and would basically die. It depends on the crest you are using. I have an imperial Hand on my Helm, I imagine Wings or horns are a bit different also from balance, but they were definitely used in battle, maybe not by the teutonics, but by normal nobles. A manuscript from the mid 13th century tells us and I’m gonna try to translate the quote to English „Knights, with their crested helmets charging the Danish king“ this was a Description about the campaign of the North German lords against the king of Denmark, I guess we will never fully know, but it is very much possible that some mad lads used such helmets during cavalry engagement. We also have to consider, in the 13th century almost NO noble knights were fighting on foot, they were used to only fight on horse back during what we would consider a tradition battle.

The distribution of kinetic energy would be bad because the flat surface

@CatholicismRules

I could be wrong, but I don't think people will be driving any weapon purely across the top of your helmet. The person wearing this helmet won't bend their head down so that you can get a good shot on them, so really I think the weapon would be hitting the intersection of the top and the face -- the corner. Could still be bad, but maybe not because of the flat surface.

A curved top is better for distributing force sure, but this helm gives a +9 to your badassery and a +17 to your Deus Vult. With the full set it also adds a +110% to your chance of reclaiming the holy city.

The vision was narrow was because it was made for jousting not for hand to hand combat. While jousting, the rider on need ms to see the target in front of him so the vision was narrow.

generally, what was worn was an arming cap (perhaps with some padding) and a mail coif. however, and this became more common as the 13th and 14th centuries went on, a close fitting helmet called a cervelliere was sometimes worn under the helmet as well, later becoming the bascinet. it’s also very possible the helmets themselves had padding.

I've been looking into buying a great helm for quite some time now, but I'm not sure if I should get an early transitional helm, with the open back, or if I should get a great helm like the one in the video

1540?? As far as I have seen from artwork and fencing treatises, those helms spanned from the 12th to the early 15th when the sallet and the armet began to take europe by storm and, to be honest, the 16th century is all about the Burgonet lol.

CoryZamparelli I was puzzled by that date aswell, because sometimes we read that it was surclassed by the bacinet and they stopped using it in the 15th century but then I have read people saying that it was used untill that date. Consider I made this video a long time ago and now I have more experience in matter of helmets, but what makes me think is probably what usage of the helmet we are talking about, because differentlyu from the Frog mouth that was only used in tournaments the great helmet was used for both tournaments and battlefield, so the later date could refer to tournaments alone. Another point of interest is the fact that I have seen in iconography a great helmet with visor, which did exist, and had the exact look of a great helm but couldbe hinged up, a sort of in between specimen of bacinet and great helm.
