This elegant armor was made around 1485/90 by the Innsbruck armorer Jรถrg Treytz (mentioned 1466-1499) for the later Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519) to be used in the joust of war which was called the โRennenโ. During that kind of hastilude two opponents, equipped with sharp lances, were riding towards each other without being separated by a barrier and the aim was to hit a kind of shield like leather bag that was attached to the armor. This leather and fabric covered target was called the โRenntartscheโ. At the end of the 15th century the armor used for this competition was being relatively standardized. For example a special version of the sallet called โRennhutโ was in use as part of the typical suit of armor for the โRennenโ jousting. The armor is preserved as part of the @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna (Inv: R I) collection and is on display at @weltmuseumwien mounted to a figurine that also reconstructs an impressive fabric covering like they were used with such armor during the knightly festivals.
