A Lot Of People Are A Bit Confused About

the moguls, and one reason is that they might be Americans and they might not say Mogul I say Mogul em UK h UK mogul, But I think the internet seems to decide that the proper spelling is now Mughal Mu g h al. Other spellings are available or whichever you prefer define. I’m gonna say Mogul though because that’s what I’m used to and in English. We say we talk about a movie mogul and I think that’s it in in the American vernacular as well, but maybe they say movie Mughal I don’t know famously known as the Mughal Empire that answers that what a wall I thought they were quite extraordinary in common with the the Turks and others of that ilk whenever the ruler died rule passed to whoever was strongest probably one of his sons who. wants to take over next and there’ll be a civil war Every time a ruler died.

There Was Another Civil War And

the various Maharaja‘s and so forth of India. Well well before the British arrived and created the Pax Britannica, which was if you like a real thing and they were fighting each other a huge amount and one book I read some while ago. I’m not entirely sure of what he was basing this on, but it estimated that they were spending 85 percent of their income fighting each other yep They were a very warlike lot and so obviously they’re going to need soldiers and the soldiers gonna need armor to see how far they took plated male here’s an example a very late example from the province of Sindh in Northwest. India and you’ll see that it’s more plate than male, not wild about this face. guard bode because though it was just flop around annoyingly and what if someone just punched you on the nose.

This Is What It Looks Like From

a distance quite sleek, really rather a practical looking gauntlet there and you see it’s linked in permanently with the vambrace and the legs bit of a hodgepodge, but that would keep you safe from most things, possibly not muskets, though which unfortunately did exist butted mail No there’s no such thing as authentic butted mail well yes actually there is and here’s a suit of it and you can see that woven into the pattern our prayers in bronze links. So they’ll keep you safe and all people in the past were tiny Nope the guy who wore this was huge you may marvel at the fact that I am touching this armor with my bare hands, but surely that’s just it’s. A priceless artifact you can’t do that he might go rusty and so forth well. I don’t wanna be too Rush’s about if I have worn this outdoors and I do want to you know get some use out of it. This particular suit has been used by Mike Loades in some of his videos if you were watching in one of his horse archery videos.

Hes Galloping Along Rather Impressively Wearing This

and training arrows though you’ll see that he’s got the sleeves tied back because the sleeves were way too long for him. But the last time this was used in what you might think of as in historical context was for the Delhi Durbar of 1903 yes you remember that one don’t you the 1903 one that was when King EdwardNK] 7th ascended to the throne of England and whilst he was at it He became. became Emperor of India, and they threw a massive dur before him, which unfortunately, he didn’t attend, but never mind someone went her to represent him and it was by all accounts the most fabulous of all the derbies attended by vast numbers of people and involving huge numbers of troops and magnificent uniforms and fabulously bedecked elephants with with powders and parasols and paint and gilding and candelabra on their tusks at the whole bit and for that occasion a number of repairs probably were made for this here. You could see one of the original fittings on the front and lower down. You could see that these have been repaired at some point in the past so that little bit on the end there could be 1903 Delhi Durbar, a vintage You’ll also notice that this fitting here isn’t the same size as the others in the row.

So My Guess Is That Thats

been taken from another suit of armor and cannibalized and used for repairs, and I thought it’d be instructive if I showed you what the inside of this looked like. So if I open it up for you, we can see those platelets that good go down my back and from the inside. You can see it very definitely. There isn’t mail underneath them and there are just three rows of mail in between one row each side linking into the platelets and one row in the middle linking the mail to the mail. Now a lot of people bound to be wondering how much this weighs.

Its The Sort Of Question That People

always ask about Armour well. I got this weighing scale from a shop called everything’s a pound and according to it, this weighs about 24 pounds, but if you don’t. Like that interesting weight, you can say it’s 11 kilos, although looking at other suits. I’m not always sure if they mean just the whole Berk or whether they’re adding in other bits maybe the helmet and so forth but 13 kilos 29 pounds. It seems to be more typically quoted in catalogs for museums and the like so I could definitely feel that I’m wearing it and I can definitely feel that the guy who owned it had smaller shoulders than mine my shoulders are rather cramped in this I don’t have excellent movement and let’s not forget that I’m just wearing a woollen tunic, and he would have had a probably a thicker padded tunic underneath this even in the summer heat of India now if I show you some of the very fine male from the skirt at the bottom and then take that up and put.

It Next To The Male From

the from the chest, you’ll see the tremendous contrast there In this two sizes of male it’s certainly mobile the mailed the sleeves, of course does not interfere with movement At all. I do remember in my childhood reading a book which said that Vikings used to fight with straight arms because they had male sleeves. No male does not require to fight with straight arms. A protective power of the plate was presumably greater than the male otherwise why would they put plates into the male other than that yeah looking but I plate though is quite thin now one thing that’s so difficult to find that even I had trouble and I knew what it was and where to look for it it’s just there can you just see punched into the front loads and loads and loads of little holes that. make a mysterious symbol? I have no idea what this means, but if anyone can tell me what that is what I’d be jolly grateful and I’d tell everyone another thing.

I Can Show You Is A Change In

the direction of the mail, so this is the inside of the back. This is the front and these are the side plates and going up between the side plates. There is this male here and you’ll see that it comes to a hiatus here in the direction of grain in the male changes because this here. This is the male that forms that long tapering triangle that is on the underside of the sleeve that ends somewhere just beyond the elbow. You see There are some fairly crude repairs that have been made to the insides of the plates.

They Dont Show Much On The

outside. There were some very. Crude repairs to the male as well, but I’ve replaced those with my own superior. I think I hope repairs. This is the very chunky male of the chest and here we see that flap which sticks up protecting the back of the neck, which I tried to show you earlier and right in the very very corners.

There Are Again Solid Not Riveted Rings

and look how incredibly warm that one is it’s it’s very very delicate now I wouldn’t want to put much strain on that written on the inside. You’ll see that there are inscriptions and they’re in a few different languages. Now getting inscriptions like this translated that can be very expensive and he’s offered. I’m told very disappointing very very often end up saying something like you know Allah he’s really great well yeah.
