#medievalhistory #armor #history In this fascinating episode,
Hendrik and Carmen take you through the complete evolution of
medieval armor - from the first padded gambesons to the iconic
full plate armors of the Renaissance. You'll discover how
protection and mobility developed over 1000 years of history.
From simple textile protection through chainmail to perfected
plate techniques: We explain the practical reasons behind each
stage of development, show regional differences, and debunk
common myths. Particularly fascinating: How armor became a status
symbol and why a living knight in magnificent armor was often
worth more than a dead one. From Richard the Lionheart's
astronomical ransom to the Crusades - history comes alive! Enjoy,
and see you next time! #chainmail #platearmor #knightarmor
