St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos y'n Koos) is a tidal island located 366 m (400 yd) off the Mount's Bay coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is a civil parish and is united with the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. The island exhibits a combination of slate and granite (see Geology below). Its Cornish language name — literally, "the grey rock in the wood" — may represent a folk memory of a time before Mount's Bay was flooded. Certainly, the Cornish name would be an accurate description of the Mount set in woodland. Remains of trees have been seen at low tides following storms on the beach at Perranuthnoe, but radiocarbon dating established the submerging of the hazel wood at about 1700 BC. The chronicler John of Worcester relates under the year 1099 that St. Michael's Mount was located five or six miles from the sea, enclosed in a thick wood, but that on the third day of the nones of November the sea overflowed the land, destroying many towns and drowning many people as well as innumerable oxen and sheep; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records under the date 11 November 1199, "The sea-flood sprung up to such a height, and did so much harm, as no man remembered that it ever did before". The Cornish legend of Lyonesse, an ancient kingdom said to have extended from Penwith toward the Isles of Scilly, also talks of land being inundated by the sea. In prehistoric times, St. Michael's Mount may have been a port for the tin trade, and Gavin de Beer made a case for it to be identified with the "tin port" Ictis/Ictin mentioned by Posidonius. The Mount may be the Mictis of Timaeus, mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia (IV:XVI.104), and the Ictis of Diodorus Siculus.[citation needed] Both men had access to the now lost texts of the ancient Greek geographer Pytheas, who visited the island in the fourth century BC. If this is true, it is one of the earliest identified locations in the whole of western Europe and particularly on the island of Britain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Michaels_Mount

“The Dark Star” Leg Cuisses Blackened Spring Steel Thigh Armor Only a mad man would challenge her to a duel. Sharp, quick and terrifyingly talented, fighting the Dark Star is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. She’s achieved her status through nothing more than her own strong will and ability and needs no one. It’s easy to feel pulled in, to be drawn into her orbit… but be careful. A person who needs no one has nothing to lose. These legs were created as part of the Dark Star Collection. We imagined a set of armor created for the female figure, slim fitting, graceful yet brutal and strong. It has a blackened tone to it, which protects the armor from rust, and has been made out of a very special material: spring steel. Spring steel is much stronger than mild steel, so armor can be made out of much thinner sheets of it. This means that for a lighter weight, the armor can be just as strong and protective! It has taken a lot of work to come up with this design, and it included many experiments, so we hope that you appreciate our craftsmanship. This leg armor consists of two main pieces, the cuisses (thigh armor) and cop (knee armor). They are connected with a series of articulated plates which ensure you will be able to have smooth movements. From the knee, two lames extend towards the cuisses, with the final third lame coming to an attractive point before connecting to the thigh piece. This motif is repeating under the knee, with two lames extending down with a slightly longer final piece coming to a point. This armor protects the front of your leg and does not extend to the back of your thigh, which would make it perfect for riding a horse. This harness is based on armor from the late XIV century, with smaller fans on the side of the knee cops. In the XV century, the fans started to get bigger and more extravagant, which we decided not to explore with this piece. That being said, the smooth articulation of this armor is very much inspired by the more sophisticated leg armor we started seeing in the early XV century. This leg harness was created with fine attention to detail, making sure every aspect of it is perfect. All of the edges are well finished and not sharp, and all of the leather used is high quality and robust. Solid brass rivets have been used throughout, which should resist rust and also hold together very well. For the buckles, we have used cast brass medieval buckles, which suit the theme and add to the overall aesthetic. Please, mind that no polishing option is available if you choose brassed spring steel! To check how to measure yourself please click here. Please contact us if you have any additional questions. IMPORTANT: To fit correctly and prevent injury, a suit of armour must be accurately built to the measurements of the person wearing it. PLEASE take all measurements over either the gambeson or under-padding you are planning to wear with this armour. The sole exception is for persons buying armour and padding together, ArmStreet will then make the proper size adjustments for the armour based on the measurements provided for the padding.
