Great for artists trying to understand armour. Thanks!
I agree!
finally i can understan the proportions of the helmet way better
This wasn't about salads at all...
In polish this helmet is called
Salada
@@paweandonisgawralidisdobrz2522 In Japanese, that's exactly how you say 'salad'. ’サラダ’ lol
my favourite type of helmet...
rahadian panji oki late 15th century fuckboi starter gear: sallet
Shrekas 2 you again. Why don't you leave people alone
I like it, clear and concise, not condescending
yeah. saltarello for the sallets! you took my note about the music in the previous video seriously :) would like to do another thumb up for the music!
It was one of the few performances of real medieval music I could find that wouldn't get me into copyright problems :)
As someone who loves to draw armour, this video is very useful - more like this please!
I can't thank you enough for your work. This will help me so much. I´m working to become a 3d designer and animator, and as an armour lover (in fact i´m a blacksmith apprentice and i spect to become an armourer) i will try to represent armour in a completely realistic and coherent way in my art.
can you give me a discount when you make my armour? ;)
I was in London about a week ago, so I visited the Wallace collection, and had the opportunity to see the few munitions grade sallets that they have there, including the rather famous painted sallet. It was awesome!
The internet needs more of this!
I started this video and walked away expecting to be audibly educated on the anatomy of the sallet while I hung up my clothes to dry. Little did I know I was about to listen to best medieval performance I would ever hear!
Damn! Brilliantly done . . . More, sir. Please.
This has style.
Ian. I just wanted to let you know that I used the resources you posted on your website such as the databases of medieval effigies and manuscripts for a project in my history class this semester, thank you; they really helped.
Awesome! Glad to hear they were useful for you!
This was excellent, just wonderfull, i hope you make more of these in the future featuring other armor pieces. Your channel is awesome, keep it up!
Loved the music
Thank you! It was a pleasure to watch this!
Love it
Your videos are some of the best on youtube, always impressed.
Excellent break down of this helmet!
Very nice illustrations and animations. You continue to impress, Ian.
As an illustrator who loves drawing armor, your channel is a godswnd
Nice videos, Knyght Errant. I really enjoy them and look forward to more in the future. Very educational and informative.
Sallets and Saltarello...what more can a man ask for, great video thanks for the remarkable information!
awesome!
Another minimalist classic! Thanks.
Gorgeous!
As always, excellent video.
fantastic!
That was excellent.
Very cool!
Thank you for the video. I really have always liked the sallet helmet and it is really nice to see someone else appreciate it. Thank you again for well made video.
This is great! Thanks!
Beautiful work
NICE WORK. Informative.
very good please more
Bravo!!! The animations and the captioning is outstanding. You should make a digital treatise like this!! I would buy such a book.
Gotta love that music
ah saltarello, my favourite medieval music.
It's salterello Il
Excellent
Thank you very much for this video my friend. It's absolutely perfect, along with the music! I plan to purchase a XV Century German Sallet with Bevor, and now I know the variations thanks to you
My second favorite helmet following the Armet & Barbute, my thanks for posting this
This is really helping me plan my hard kit. Thanks.
Amazing video
that's some useful detail right there! thanks for this!
Exquisite presentation. :)
That was a really nice format for a video
Wonderfull ! Thank you for your hard work !
A question i wanted to ask , what do you think about maximilian armor ( german Riefelharnisch ) do you like this type ? Would you do a video about it ?
I personally don't find it very appealing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to cover it. It's just a little bit later than the main focus of my channel, but still something I'd like to talk about in the future.
Knyght Errant
Thank you for the answer looking forward to your content (every content not just my question ) .
+Knight Errant may you pls do an analyzis of the Norman mask helmet
My favourite style of helmets :)
And now YOU made me unsure which type of Sallet I like^^ Damn Knyght teaching me stuff :P
Very detailed and informative video, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you
A really great video!
Seeing actual helmets (or other parts of armour) is great, but sometimes the intricate details of how they move can't be shown easily, because steel. An animation like this is an excellent alternative.
Thank you!
Fantastic video, thanks for putting all this work into your content.
Thank you very much, it's my pleasure!
This is awesome thank you!! Really helpful artistic reference!
Thanks for this awesome video! For my personal "re-enactment-set" of a late medieval german mercernary (sort of a protolandsknecht) I'm plannig to acquire a sallet and this video will help me on picking a "historical" one
Nice job¡
You forgot the various crests and banners on top, or plume holders to really add bling.
Very good video.
Also a very good background song.Can't get it out of my head now.
Salterello Il
This is very good. That's all I can say about this. It's very good. Well done sir.
All I can say is "this".
I appreciate your willingness to make or purchase original artwork and share it for these historical depictions.
Thanks, I've found that some things I want to explain are more easily shown if I just draw what's going on rather than simply trying to say it. This is especially the case when even photographs or an actual object still make it difficult for me to show you.
Absolutely wonderful. Your channel is a treasure to behold and cherish for armor enthusiasts.
Thank you sir.
@Knyght Errant
No good sir, thank you for the content you make.
Look forward to more interesting content in 2017........best wishes for the new year.
An excellent video about an excellent helmet. What more can you ask for!? Perhaps one on Barbute like the one i am wearing??
Lovely artwork, and very appropriate music.
I think if I was going to buy a sallet, it would be an italian style full-visored one, but with an articulated bevor, because that seems like a good combination protectively, but it's also aesthetically pleasing and isn't too restrictive.
more anatomy videos please
Thansk for sharing....is great...
wow! this was amazing and put together very Well! loved it! i saw a couple original Schaller helmets here in Germany a while ago! greets from Solingen ,Sir!
Thank you!
Good job :)
damn, I love Saltarello II.
Ah, yes a man of Q U A L I T Y
Great video, as always. The sallet has always been one of my favorite types of helmets, I like the look of the close sallet but I would want it with an articulated tail and full visor.
For me I I'd have to say the same lmao. Plus a normal bevor. That's mainly a vanity tho.
I kind of like the ones with the breaths, I not only like it because of the way they look but it seems very practical as well.
Riceball01 I don't like the look. But I would have it for the practicality.
Hey. I hope you're doing well.
A small fantasy theory related to the sallet.
I recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings. The helmet of the Uruk-Hai have a uncanny resemblance to the sallet. Additionally. The NazGuhls plate, especially their sabatons look very much like a particular gothic armour in the Wallace Collection, of Sigismund. A Germanic flavour here?
Historically, the way Germanic tribes in antiquity, as well as the viking Norsemen, were both described as almost like savaged and brutish.
Seeing as the big bad guy, Melkor/Morgoth, originated from Angband, the furthest north is also poignant. The Germanic hordes descended upon the civilisations in the south. The norsemen descended upon the anglo-saxons in hordes from the north.
Tolkien was never a fan of allegory, but to me, I believe there's a connection to my ancestors. It's awesome. xD
Fare thy well.
Hey love the videos!
Can u do a video on blued armor??
Sallet is the coolest helmet in the inventory.
came for content, stayed for the music lol
Saltarello = very nice :)
I hope you are going to do the same for close helmets
Very well executed sir. Now for the Armet? Or close helm?
Thanks for the information. Now much easier to understand the differences. What is your preferable and why?
What is the advantage in close sallet compared to Italian style full visor?
A close sallet cannot open a gap between the bevor and visor like a standard sallet and separate bevor can.
Armet next? Loved this one :)
The open faced version appears very similar to the WWI/WWII German Stahlhelm, as well as its descendant, the modern American Kevlar helmets. Presumably this is where the inspiration came from.
Propably, yes.
Absolutely, many modern era military helmets are really just modern incarnations of the sallet.
Very nice even if you did leave out my personal favourite style - half visor with a brow plate :-)
Is that what your profile pic is?
It is. I have 2 of that style.
Hi is it just me that would like a video on painted armour in medieval times ?
Would an articulated bevor, not the neck plates but the part that would come up higher in the face have had a lining on the bottom chin part that has the pin on it? I am trying to make a model for a video game and want to be as accurate as possible on this detail? I would also assume that a bevor with breaths would not have a liner, haha.
Very interesting; the german style (esspecially with the articulated tail) seems to harkon back to the old Roman Gallic type helms with the extended tail.
ok this cleared up some stuff
Awesome overview Ian! Are you planning more videos of this kind?
I enjoy making on them, so if people enjoy watching them I will continue. They are a lot of work, so their future is somewhat dictated by the success of the current ones.
Wow, this is fantastic!
Your videos are absolutely essential viewing for someone trying to understand armour and how it works. This animation just makes things better!
A question about bevors - Did all bevors come down to cover the top of the breastplate? Were there smaller ones that allowed move movement? I'm thinking if they were strapped to the neck, how you move your head sideways must be somewhat limited if they come down over the breastplate, and I know they were often strapped to the breastplate (or plackart?). Would they prevent you from say, looking over your shoulder, and would the smaller ones I am envisaging allow you to do this more easily?
I can't think of any examples that didn't overlap with the breastplate (that was one of their primary functions), but you still get a little movement inside of it. It doesn't necessarily lock your chin straight ahead, even being strapped around the back of the neck.
Lovely, this has me wondering though: the English had both sallets and armets for the same person. Do any invertories show a knight having both a harness and a brigandine, the brigandine being for situations where manoeuvrability was perhaps prefereable.
the sallet is my favorite helmet
Thats nice and very instructive. Will you do it for other helmet like the armet for example ?
I've done it for the bascinet. If these videos do well I will continue to do them, but they take an incredible amount of work, so their future is predicated on their present success :)
Yes it's sure it take a lot of time.I respect you for that, you are doing great work.
Do the Armet next!
Incredible choice of music. Is it yours, or where can I buy it?
When is your next video going to be uploaded
Awesome video!
How easy would it be to replace the liner back in the day? Can you remove the rivets? How?
Rivet replacement is pretty simple if you need to get the entire thing out.. They can be punched or drilled out and quickly replaced. Any smith, not even a specialized armorsmith, should be capable of that kind of task. It would be more difficult because of the cramped working area, but the liner can still be sewn to the leather strip without removing the leather strip from the helmet as well.
You would cut and remove the thread that the liner is sewn to the leather strap with ;) you would then sew in a new liner, with no need to remove the leather strap.
Great music. Who is it?
That's an awesome video, though I find it strange that the bevor would only be secured by a single strap around the neck. Is it possible or do you know of any examples of bevors with a more substantial system of straps to secure it to the neck and lower face? thank you for the videos they're awesome.
Some later bevors strapped down to the breastplate, and some even used a mechanical staple, locking it to the breastplate (ruclips.net/video/XssorlVXsv4/видео.htmlm5s) . Some bevors also included mail around the back of the neck. There was simply no way I could fit all the variation in a decent sized video, but I do have about 35 minutes of information on sallets in 2 other videos on the channel that cover much more detail.
I saw those videos they're great also, thanks for the reply.
Sees video, begins to drool!
music got slightly repetitive but I liked this new style of video. good work man
Finding authentic medieval music that's not a copyright protected performance is very difficult unfortunately. Finding such a performance that's even remotely close to the arbitrary length of a video... near impossible. :)
Beautifully done Ian! But why did the Germans prefer half visors instead of whole ones?
There are plenty of German sallets with full visors as well, it's not an absolute by any means, but I don't know why one would prefer a half visor to the full visor. I have very little practical experience with sallets.
Ironically enough in ww1 the germans had a large plate that fitted in front of the m16 stalhelm and it look like the top of the full visor
Probably just cheaper to produce
Where did you get all your cool armor (love your video quality btw)
Hi, thanks. Most of my armor was made by Jeff Wasson (www.wassonartistry.com) and my bascinet was made by Piotr Feret (www.platener.eu)
Question: Wouldn't this style of helmet be especially vulnerable to a lucky lance or pike strike from below, following a bevor and underneath a visor considering how far the visor overlaps the bevor?
That's a possibility, and one reason the armet with wrapper may be a superior helmet specifically for cavalry use.
Thanks for an answer and for great content!
