509. Heath Ledger's armor from A Knight's Tale. (Columbia, 2001) The armor worn by the late Heath Ledger as Sir William Thatcher / Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein of Gelderland in the 2001 action movie A Knight's Tale. This is the radical lightweight armor that the character receives from Kate the Farrier (Laura Fraser) late on in the movie. On screen a "Nike" swoosh can be seen but this appears to have been a close up insert shot only, the markings are not present on the full suit when seen during the jousting tournaments. It is fabricated from a very tough, polyurethane which has been detailed to look like metal. This method of armor manufacture is now commonplace in production as it is both durable and lightweight. The material is also ideal for stunt performers as it is soft enough to absorb most impacts. The visor on the helmet is hinged and there is a reasonable amount of movement in the entire outfit for the actor. The most memorable costume from this popular feature film. $6,000 - $8,000
