"Dirk H. Breiding, Assistant Curator, Department of Arms and Armor, The
Metropolitan Museum of Art Museum curators and conservators explore a
fascinating topic-Misconceptions."

 

The recap below is from our SCA baronial newsletter. Video starts off slow,
but gets good. Some funny and also serious stuff.  Including taking on The
Deadliest Warrior on Spike's knight poster, Olivier's Henry the Vth movie
with knights lifted by cranes, renn fair armour & the reenactors on Mail
Call, etc. as well as limited rare 1920's footage of real armour from the
Met being put on and worn including Henry the VIII's gilded suit which has
amazing flexibility in the sabaton & armoured elbow, Toby Capwell in his
Robert MacPherson suit, etc. Video is a lecture, about 47 minutes,
downloadable.

"Finally, for a good laugh while learning something interesting about
medieval arms and armor, check out

How To Mount a Horse in Armor and Other Chivalric Problems, another filmed
lecture from the Met on

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqC_squo6X4 There is some great
footage here of real men

wearing real (not reproduction) armor demonstrating range of motion and
flexibility of period armor. There

are also some great moving images of Dr. Tobias Capwell of the Wallace
Collection running at full tilt, and

pole fighting in his own custom made suit of armor. The film and lecture
completely bust the myth of the slow 

moving knight in heavy armor. THE BARONY OF AN DUBHAIGEAINN MARCH 2010 THE
VIADUCT PAGE 8"
