This is a link to my new late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
The files are unfortunately too large to attach.
I'm hoping someone more computer literate than I would help out with this.

Sir Ed, have a blast with photoshop on these.

Post by: Sir Matthew on 2011-08-28, 14:06:44: Nicely done. The mail looks very good and the surcoat and cloak are quite impressive.

Post by: Sir Ulrich on 2011-08-28, 15:32:16: I like it, inspires me to do something similar. I notice you got the same padded coif as me. Now to get a surcoat myself...

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-29, 01:01:15: Thank you all!
Sir Ulrich, yes, I got the same padded coif, but I had to tailored by BJ to fit my head correctly and replaced the ties with buttons.
Sir Matthew, thank you, the cloth is where it counts! ;)

Geez, give me a few months and add another member to the rampant great helm club here..... :P :)

I emailed her weeks ago and never heard back. Is she only doing work for you? :(

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-29, 22:26:02: Why thank you Sir Brian, I will have many many years to obsess about all things medieval! :D
A few years, hopefully not! We still have many towns and fairs to conquer yet!

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-30, 02:07:20: Here, I'll try again with the pics...

Sir James, I'll talk to her about what's going on. She expressed a desire to me to do work from a good few of us. She got back to Sir William. Her Email might have thought you were spam or so.

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-30, 04:05:23: Haha, thanks Sir Ed! :D

Boy will they be disappointed to learn the order's stance on such behavior......
Or how is it called these days...... "winning the Hearts and Minds of the local population"? That'll be a sufficient excuse I'm sure.... ;D
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: Sir Edward on 2011-08-30, 13:15:05: Which order? I can't speak to the Teutonic order, but the Order of the Marshal doesn't have a chastity clause. ;)

He is never going to let me live that down...that was for ME, Sir Brian, for ME...but I'm quite certain I'll be singing a different song when I reach that age. :)

Nathan...you will make other young men the world over very happy if you decide to go the chaste route. I could not do it!
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-31, 02:14:33: Yes, I was referring to the Teutonic Order. And no, I don't think Sir Brian will ever let you live that down.

Well in this persona, a ritterbrudern would have to, as I'm sure you know (as the resident Templar) the Military orders weren't so hot on all that jazz.

Good thing my superiors are all in Marienburg. ::)

Post by: Sir William on 2011-08-31, 18:48:54: Yea, I understood the reasoning behind that clause in the Orders, what I did not not understand was how many would sign up enthusiastically! But then, my mindset's different...it is no longer frowned upon to engage in pre-marital relations so...there you have it.

Besides, if the priesthood struggles with it, imagine what a baser minded man like myself would be suffering? I shudder at the thought!

lol

Post by: Sir Edward on 2011-08-31, 19:05:25: I have a feeling people didn't adhere to that particular tenet as much as they claimed to. ;)
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: Sir William on 2011-08-31, 20:22:52: Agreed...although I'm willing to be a higher percentage did back then as opposed to any who try it now...back then, the fear of death and Hell was nearly a palpable thing. Back then, when oaths sworn actually meant something.
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-08-31, 22:16:58: yes, and from what happened to the Templars upon "suspicion of heresy" (or simply owning money that didn't belong to the king of France) I think any order would be in a big stew of trouble if order members were out doing such things right and left .

I believe when the Templar Knights' numbers were dwindling in the downturn on the later Crusader days, the Templars ruling cast allowed for the ordaining of Templar Knights called "conferred" to appease the more militaristic part of the Order as to increase numbers & wealth to support their goals. In which case, Templar Knight conferred were allowed to marry but must give onto the Order 1/2 their estate wealth. Is that factual??
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: Sir William on 2012-07-24, 14:14:07: Interesting...that would make sense in a way, although I have not heard of that actually occurring. Yet another 'secret' of the Templar Order, eh? I'd buy it.
Title: Re: late 13th early 14th century Teutonic Knight Kit.
Post by: SirNathanQ on 2012-08-08, 01:40:52: Wasn't much of a secret really. It's right there in the rule. A confrere knight was a knight who served for a specified amount of time. They offered a large donation or 1/2 their estate, and were allowed all the privileges and lifestyle of a brother knight besides the wearing of the mantle (and anything in relation to permanent monastic status).

I learned them by playing Total War 2: The Crusades repeatedly (and by reading other notable sources). ::)

I ain't mad at that.

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2012-08-10, 04:18:18: Well, if I had to learn history from a game, I'd go with the total war series. :)

BTW you can often find the rule to military orders simply floating around the internet. Be warned though, you may need your BS filters up when looking for one.
