What

It's a special type of joust run, invented under Maximilian I, called "Geschiftstartschenrennen". The mechanical shield has a spring mechanism, that when hit, throws out the pieces of the "Renntartsche" (jousting shield) in wedge-shaped fragments. Max really liked jousting.

Any more Teutonic pics? I'd really appreciate it

Sorry, the scans I have of the Teutonic knights aren't in such high quality

How did they get the helmets to hang off the back of their heads without straps?
