Ulrich IX Jousting Armor
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.
