Videos tagged with Ceremonial Armour

This video from the Royal Armouries highlights a significant new acquisition: the armor worn by the last King's Champion at a British coronation. The armor, used during George IV's coronation in 1821 by Henry Dymoke, is unique due to its specific provenance and ceremonial role. Its acquisition by the Royal Armouries marks a rare addition to their collection.

This video features Olivier Renaudeau, a curator from the Musée de l’Armée, discussing a suit of Greenwich armour. The content is part of a five-episode series exploring objects related to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a significant historical event between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France. This particular episode focuses on Greenwich armour, with other episodes covering a buckler, sword, foot combat armour, and a ceremonial axe from the Tudor period. The series was created due to the postponement of a physical exhibition at the Royal Armouries because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
