Silhouette

Half Plate armour

Time period

1400

Geographical Area

 France, with an Italian supplier

Historical Example

 mixed depicitions - I have no known French heavy infrantry depiction for 1400s.

Social Status

 Country French Knight

Leg suspension

 c-belt

Correct layers V your layers

Not enough mail, body armour should be over the fabric layer

Weapon Fitout

 SCA rule set compliant rattan long sword and rattan dagger

My Compromises

faceplate is a required peice for the SCA ruleset

modern gorget is supplemental to the missing mail

less mail - this kit should have more mail and less visible cloth

fuller leg articulation & less elbow articulation - swapped due to the availability at the time

different gauntlets - finger gauntlets illegal. These steel covered leather ones are incorrect for the kit

leather gutters and thigh plates - I choose leather gutters and thigh plates for a sports ruleset reason - If I have steel gutters (forearms) and steel thigh plates I cannot even notice correctly thrown shots I need to register as hits.

wrong shoes - I get consant injury with flat soled medieval shoes.
