This video article presents an interdisciplinary approach dealing with the reconstruction of the lost embodied knowledge of wearers of late medieval harnesses. Our research is based on inquiries surrounding material culture (arms and armours and the relevant clothing), as well as studies of the technical literature known as fight books. The hypotheses drawn from these are then compared to results obtained from experiencing and experimenting modern-day enactments of gestures while wearing an accurate replica of a harness. Once the difference between experiencing and experimenting is explained, we outline and discuss selected results from our research processes.
