The sport remained popular at the court of the prince-electors of Saxony long after it had gone out of fashion elsewhere in Europe.This is one of more than thirty almost identical armors--some brightly polished and others painted black--formerly kept in the ducal armory in Dresden for use in court tournaments. The armors are thought to have been made locally by Saxon armorers in Dresden and Annaberg.. Jousting Armor (Rennzeug) and Matching Half-Shaffron. German, probably Dresden or Annaberg. ca. 1580-90.

Armour of Pankraz von Freyberg. Pankraz von Freyberg, Lord of Aschau im Chiemgau (Bavaria), probably wore this armour when he fought as a knight for Emperor Charles V. A good armour offered protection from swords, pole-arms and arrows. It weighed around 25 kilogrammes. The greatest weight was in the breast and back plates, and thus rested on the wearer’s shoulders. Hinged parts allowed soldiers wearing armour to move with relative ease.
