has some really neat ideas on stuff for 1250s era kit.
-
Yep, seen it before. Decent reference, and whenever I get around to that timeframe, I'll be using a few ideas from there.

I just found that yesterday, and I thought it was quite good at getting it down to the basics. They seem like a pretty good group, albeit a bit cynical to American sword manufacturers because all we do is SCA and Ren-faire... :-[ too bad the person who wrote that forgot to mention how good Albion is ::)
I joined their forums yesterday, but after reading posts like that, I'm just enjoying it for seeing what others are doing for their impressions and kits. They do have a pretty good resource though for interpretation.

Funny you should mention that site as I was on it earlier today; I prefer this one w/regard to 12th/13th C ideas. One caveat- it is written mostly in French, of which I have but rudimentary understanding, but there you have it.

Three cheers for Sir William!
http://www.bouvines1214.org/ (http://www.bouvines1214.org/) is a wonderful resource. Good thing too is Google Chrome as a web browser, I'm not sure of the others, but its translator does an ok job :D "round riveted mesh" aside, it translates ok.
Very very cool resource!

beyond that, I love how they spell out everything required to look that good. It's really amazing. It also helps my lady can read, sort of, French ;)
-
Man, those are fantastic!

sigh, i now hate everything about my kit and want to start over

google chrome has a fairly good translator, beyond that, even just the pictures are a great inspiration.

here's another good site:
http://www.chevaliers-et-figurines.fr/echelle_1_total.htm (http://www.chevaliers-et-figurines.fr/echelle_1_total.htm)
it's in French too lol, just been researching of late and finding good stuff only in French! wtf!?! ;D :o
*edited again at 4:00 PST -
found another one lol
http://www.rose-epee.com/xiiieme-siecle/armes-armures/haubergerie/ (http://www.rose-epee.com/xiiieme-siecle/armes-armures/haubergerie/)
... in French... again lol
-
cant get that second link to work
-
that sucks, the second link works fine for me... hmm
http://www.rose-epee.com/xiiieme-siecle/ (http://www.rose-epee.com/xiiieme-siecle/) here's another for the basic main page of that section. Hope it works
-
nope says that link is no good either :(
-
Sir Wolf, I think your computer just defends against the French, because I can get through the link just fine. You must have a fine English computer. I will have to discipline mine accordingly for allowing the French so easily through to my display.
-
wth?!?
http://www.rose-epee.com/ (http://www.rose-epee.com/)
any luck with just their main page? they appear to have frames, so maybe that's one of the problems? The good link is the one labeled "XIIIème Siècle." I dunno, I'm such a noob at webpage stuff. It's starting to act weird for me too, with an "internal error" code popping up every now and again, so I dunno.
here's a pic from their site,

the worst part is the pictures are great, but their research (even with Google Chrome translating) is worth far more. They have a great bibliography section, with TONs of primary sources! rrrr
it isn't just armour either, they have embroidery, illuminations, calligraphy, leatherworking and forging with period tools, etc etc etc. It'd be a great resource if it'd bloody work!
