Fashion in Steel
Stefan Krause
Stefan Krause delves back five centuries to the political, social,
and cultural context in which von Rogendorf lived.
Among other key venues in the Holy Roman Empire, this story takes
the reader to the court of Emperor Charles V in Spain and to
Augsburg, the leading center of armor making, where Rogendorf was
introduced to the court armorer of Charles V, Kolman Helmschmid
(1471-1532).
Helmschmid was famous for his inventive and masterfully sculptured
works, and this book elaborates on his unique contributions to the
history of armor, and how and why von Rogendorf's suit was informed
by contemporary fashion.
