Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

Description

More than 500 years ago, a noble blood knight from a Franconian family Schott owned armor manufactured in Nuremberg’s armory. The name of the knight was Kunst Schott von Hellingen. He died at 1526, but his armor was preserved.  The armor was made between 1490 and 1497 years. At that time Schott and forty other Knights owned a large castle in Rottenburg. Just like Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. 🙂 In fact, they were professional mercenaries who offered their services to the barons of southern Germany in their internecine wars. Except knights at the castle, there were about five hundred soldiers.

In 1497 Schott chosen to be a commander and commandant of the fortress of Rothenburg, and one of the first of his actions was the war with Nuremberg.

City of Nuremberg promised reward in 2000 guilders for the head of Schott von Hellingen. The period of its activity has been the bloodiest in the history of this city. Schott Knights constantly ambushed soldiers of Nuremberg, and few managed to escape alive.

The feud of Schott with city of Nuremberg ceased in 1525, and he was given a safe-conduct to travel through the city in Heylbronner-Hof, which, though located within the perimeter of the city walls, but belonged to the Margrave von Ansbach-Bayreuth. Here, during the deadly disease Schott was visited by some famous Nuremberg doctors. Schott died on January 8, 1526. The palace was a house-chapel, and even in 1757 there was a plaque, on which one could read: “The Year 1526, the first Monday after the holy Christmas day, died a noble and valiant Conrad (Kunz) Schott, head of Schreitburg, and his soul is now in the care of God”.

Hornburg Castle, for the possession of which Schott entered into a dispute with the imperial elector, still stands on the river Neckar, and fold one of the doors are still adorned with his coat of arms.
