The Great Helm evolved out of a need for greater protection
for the head and neck and was first seen towards the end of
the 12th century. It was a very popular style of helmet worn
by knights and men-at-arms in most European armies and was
also worn by knights of the crusading orders such as the
Knights Templar. It offered superior protection to the open
face nasal helmet of the previous century |
The Kettle Hat was favoured by the English infantryman and
man at arms throughout the medieval period and was popular
during the 100 Years War. It was simple to manufacture and
offered good protection against projectiles. This design was
so effective that it came back into service with the British
military in World War 1 and 2. The name derives from the
Germanic word “cetel” or “cietel” alluding to its deep
cauldron like shape. It was also known as a “war hat” and
“Chapel-de-fer” (hat of iron). |
Shoulder armour that dates from around 1460 and is suitable
for the end of 14th to the middle of 15th century. A pierced
leather strap allows you use it in almost any arming
garment. The strap features 2 holes that a lace can be
threaded through to allow it to be tied to a breastplate or
arming jacket. |
The original armour is part of what´s known as "S18" in the
Churburg armoury. It has characteristic besagews attached to
the shoulders, something quite unique compared with other
surviving pieces. Although originally dated the first part
of the 15th century, some specialists maintain it might be
dated from 1370-1410. The original piece that this set is
based on supposedly belonged to Count Matsch and is known to
be a Lombard work. |

The bevor was a component of a medieval suit of armour. It
was usually a single piece of plate armour protecting the
chin and throat and filling the gap between
the helmet and breastplate. The bevor could also extend over
the knight’s left shoulder doubling the thickness of the
armour.
The bevor was originally worn in conjunction with a type of
helmet known as a sallet. With the close helm and burgonet,
developments of the sallet in the late medieval and
Renaissance period, the bevor became a hinged plate
protecting the lower face and throat. |
The French word 'gorge' meaning throat, was a band of linen
wrapped around a woman's neck and head in the medieval
period. The term later described a steel or leather collar
to protect the throat, a set of pieces of plate armour, or a
single piece of plate armour hanging from the neck and
covering the throat and chest. Later, particularly from the
18th century, the gorget became primarily ornamental,
serving as a symbolic accessory on military uniforms, a use
which has survived in some armies. |
The 14th-15th Century Articulated Bevor is made in the style
of central Europe circa 1480 to 1500. |

C14th Arm Armour |

Based on the S18 harness from the Churburg armoury, this
piece is dated from the 15th century - although some
specialists believe that it can be dated from 1370 to 1410.
The original armour that this set is based on supposedly
belonged to the Von Matsch family and is thought to be a
Lombard work. |
Gothic Armour was a popular style of armour in England and
Germany during the late 15th Century. It was influenced by
the peaks and ridges of Gothic architecture and art of the
period and by the 1480's it was considered to be the best
armour in Europe. It was worn by knights and nobles on both
sides in the Wars of the Roses where it afforded excellent
protection against the arrow storms associated with the
battles of this period. |
Elbow couters (also known as elbow cops) are a curved piece
of plate armour that protects the elbow joint during battle. |
Arm protection, such as those replicated here, could be
found in the early 15th century in the "Transitional Period"
of armours. Based on several funerary brasses, the style of
these arms with round wings can be seen combined with
chainmail and mittens at the beginning of the century. This
versatile protection can be combined with several pieces to
offer an extremely wide range of armour combinations. |

Agincourt Armour is inspired by the armour worn by both the
English and French knights at the Battle of Agincourt in
1415. It features a distinctive style of helmet that was in
common use by knights and men-at-arms of the early 15th
century.
The Suit of Armour or "harness" as it was known as is
handcrafted from 18 gauge steel and features adjustable
leather straps and brass buckles. It is mostly, but not
fully, articulated allowing it to be worn for some
applications. The legs feature the least degree of
articulation and are really designed with display in mind.
The upper body and arms are articulated. The helmet is
fitted with a liner and chin strap and features a pivoting
visor.
The armour ideally needs two people to match up the
breastplate to the back. Attach the gauntlets to arms first,
then the arms to the body. |
This piece is inspired by the armour worn by knights at 16th
century jousting tournaments. It is crafted in polished
steel and features leather straps, decorative fabric skirt
and comes assembled on a wooden display stand on a varnished
wooden base. It comes complete with a jousting lance made
from wood and steel.
This armour is designed for display only, and whilst some of
the joints are articulated to allow for a variety of poses,
it is not designed to be worn.
Ships in a large box and is delivered partially assembled.
Some simple assembly is required. |

articulated and can be worn. Ideally suited to somebody of
average build from 5'10" - 6'2" tall. Comes complete with
