Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

Then the winged hussars arrived!
Was it my comment on your last Post that made you post this?
No, but it was a good suggestion. I had a whole cache of photos to sort through, and just happened to get to the armor before I saw the comment.
Just to say - the Polish nobleman had a duty to have equipment on their own. The Polish crown didn't pay anything for this nor for the service. If the crown require money on war, the parliament ( of nobleman) had to approve tax on themselves

Does its job well. I would be pretty goddamn intimidated if I was facing someone wearing this in battle.
Everyone knows armor that has wing means you go faster.

Kislev.
pretty sure I've had my ass handed to me by this dude in dark souls or elden
Some of the mausoleum knights in elden ring for sure have wing armor like this. Cant say about the helms though as they are headless
It's always so fascinating seeing new historical inspiration turn up for these games! It's truly cracked.
And mount and blade lol
There's an armour set with similar wing elements in Elder Scrolls Online, too
I don’t know why, but my first reaction was…. Mandalorian?
