Walking out of walmart and I see the mcdonalds, the #mccrelly calls to me. Saying "you can do it, you're a big guy"
I know the truth, i'd fail. So i keep walking, once I'm outside the sun shines upon me and the demons are gone.
⚔️Here are some figures from the late 15th/early 16th century illustrating how prevalent plate armor had become:
-In 1495, Kaiser Maximilian I von Hapsburg bought over 1000 infantry plate armors from Nuremberg.
-In 1508, Maximilian I bought around 4,000 full infantry plate armors for the arsenal in Vienna
-Between 1510-1514 King Henry VIII of England ordered over 10,000 suits of armor for his army and retinue!!
The mechanization of trip hammers and grinding/polishing via water wheels allowed for a boon in plate armor mass production-particularly in Northern Italy, Austria, and Southern Germany; regions of almost constant conflict. Most infantryman of the late 15th/early 16th had some form of plate armor like in the pics below! #armor #medieval #renaissance
🏴⚔️Plate armor had become ubiquitous by the latter 15th century, with militias in the German & Italian especially states all wearing (and required to in many cases) at least some form of plate armor. The English tended towards padded jacks and brigandines for levy troops/militia, as opposed to the Italians & Germans.
When we look at the accounts of Nobleman in the 15th century, (we have a healthy amount of records from this era) we see A LOT of plate armor;
In 1481, 85% of the troops of John Howard, Duke of Norfolk, were issued with good brigandines, a mail standard (collar), sallets of varying types, and full plate arm harnesses!
On his death in 1513, John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, possessed the following: 16 Plate cuirasses (corselets), 101 brigandines, 175 sallets, and 77 pairs of plate arm harnesses. That’s just one record from the inventory of one Nobleman!
Supposedly after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the English salvaged so much plate armor they couldnt carry it all; there was so much they piled it up and burned it with the dead! Take this story w/ a grain of salt ofc, but it illustrates how widely available plate armor was by the 15th centuries…even for the common soldier!
