So there, you anti helmet zealots. PH |

What an asshole this Peter Howard is. No wonder he's known as "little Howie" on account of being insignificant.

So there, you anti helmet zealots. PH That's understandable. If you look at period paintings and descriptions of various battles, you might notice that knights on horseback usually wore helmets, but those that were unhorsed, either opened their visors, or removed the helmet. https://www.google.com/search?q=richard+iii+at+bosworth&tbm=isch Here's a modern version of Richard III at Bosworth: http://www.studio88.co.uk/acatalog/Richard_III_at_the_Battle_of_Bosworth_oil_painting .html "The original painting in its frame, next to Graham Turner's armor which is based on the tomb effigy of Ralph Fitzherbert, c. 1483." The problem is that on horseback, the only thing the knight could do was attack in the forward direction because that's all he could see through the slit or holes in the helmet. However, once unhorsed, he had to defend himself from all directions while being somewhat immobile due to the weight of the armor[1]. Better visibility is a major asset for defense, so little wonder Richard III may have removed his helmet. [1] There is some questions as to whether the knight really was immobile due to the weight of the armor: http://www.sarahwoodbury.com/medieval-swords-and-armor-were-not-heavy/ Of course, everything we know is wrong: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/aams/hd_aams.htm -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
