I’d forgotten about the bizarrely creative decorative headgear in old depictions. Humans do like spectacle…that certainly hasn’t changed. Sir Andy is being modest…it takes a lot of training to develop that level of hand/eye coordination. Very impressive.
Another top video guys giving us an insight to the training of a knight with Andy. I would guess the showmanship was a big part to build up the anticipation prior to the competition. Not only a tough job for the knight but for the squire as well as any failures we know who the finger would point at. I guess it's a similar thing for todays project managers. Many thanks for sharing.
Royal armories is a fantastic day out. My brother lives next door and i visited him recently, that whole part of Leeds has changed heaps since I left the UK 20 years ago.
A wonderful historical coverage (video) about knight training programs and schools in European medieval terms....it was similar to nowadays training and educating camps of military elite divisions ... Thank you for sharing
The one without a mask looks like his armer was made out of metal coffee cans HAHAHAHA Well done guys!!! I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I had a coworker whose husband had a severe head injury. Prior to the injury he had been a kind and gentle person…it completely changed him. Sadly, she ignored the doctors begging her not to take home and he killed her. An tragic example, but one that certainly makes what happened to Henry VIII believable.

Recap by Tammy AI
Knight? Really? Surely "man-at-arms". To be a knight you had to have a worth of more than ten pounds: you didn't have to actually wear armour and fight as, when called to join a war band, you could pay scutage and pay for a man-at-arms to take your place. Many "knights" never put on armour in their life.
