Someone reproduced a big gilded pavise in Ingolstadt and shot a windlass crossbow at it on YouTube. I can't find the video so it may be private. |
I believe you're looking for this video from Andreas Bichler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Rl9DLUfao

That's the one! (Technically anonymous, and I see that the original pavise is in the BNM in München).

That's really cool. I wonder where I could find a good pavise. I found some online but I am not sure if they were any good. This group probably only makes them for other group members. Interesting how they define pavise when there are lots that have rounded tops, for example (there seem to be a lot of different shapes). Yeah the flail stood out to me as particularly Bohemian. I wonder what the deal is with a two handed flail with a huge pavise. Is the idea that the put the pavise down and attack (or rather defend) from behind it? |
If you have facebook, you could just ask them. I think shipping costs would make it impractical for them to ship one, but they might be able to give you tips for building them. I think defining them as rectangular should be understood as a rough description, and not excluding rounded off tops or bottoms.
I think the flail wielder doesn't carry the pavise in battle, rather is either in the war wagon or the second row.
