This medieval
armor came from Milan, Italy (XV century). The original is in the Churburg
castle in Sluderno (Italy). This armor belonged to Ulrich IX, lord of
Matsch. His body was so huge that he became the symbol of the invincible
warrior and a hero in the Ariosto's and Boiardo's poems. The armour
pauldrons are made of articulated lames and the trapezoidal tassets are
connected by straps. The large basinet (helm) connected with the pouldron
and provided with a very narrow eye slit. Jousting tournaments were the
heart of medieval pageantry and the joust was a spectacle of a knights
sport and skill. This handsome steel replica suit of armor is wearable.
Stands about 6-1/2' tall with it's wooden base. Comes complete with it's
own stand.
