Armour Info

Apr 26, 2009 17:27

So, while I was up at Mont Orgeuil - *points down a post* - there was a display board listing all the individual parts of a medieval knight's armour. I thought this might come in quite useful for Merlin stories of whatever kind, so here it is! Some of it's quite obvious, but it's here in it's entirety.

*laughs hysterically* "Jared tore off the hated hat and resisted the urge to stamp on it.

"Aw, Jay, I thought it was cute!" Jensen said, sweetly, and Jared skewered him with a glare.

"Jensen? If you weren't in full armour at the moment, I would STAB YOU WITH MY HAT. And remember, I know where you sleep..."

That is really spectacularly useful. Thank you!

Glad to be of help! ^_^ We all know how upset Arthur would get if we misnamed bits of his armour. *wink*

I've compiled something related for Arthur's armor in particular a while back, if you're interested: http://suaine.livejournal.com/538364.html

Wow thanks hun! That's amazingly useful.
I know a bit as i do a bit of renactment broad sword fighting myself but to have names for armour is extremely helpful!
Thanks for the hard work you put into this!

Glad to help! Though I can't take any credit, I got to wander round a pretty castle in the sunshine and take photos. :D

Reenactment broad sword fighting? Wow! I'm torn between total envy and wincing in imagined pain. :D

rose_walker22 May 7 2009, 17:32:03 UTC

There is much fun but yes pain too.
Bruised fingers and trying to type do not make a fun time i can assure you!
Jealous of all this castle wandering!
