I Want To Be a 13th Century English Knight

Ailettes. :)
Sir Nate:
Did they hav sugar loafs in the early 13th century?
Sir Douglas:
Sugarloaf helms seem to have started appearing in the last few decades of the 13th century. The pic that Sir Ian posted of Roger de Trumpington (i.e. this one here) shows what I believe to be an early sugarloaf, or something very similar.
And I just noticed: is he also wearing ailettes, or is that just some kind of decorative background?
Sir Nate:
Well, I guess now I am 13th century knight. Douglas let us switch gear for a few months. I want to be a late 12th century and early 13th knight.
You can also replace all my gear while your borrowing it too.
Then we can trade back. Lol.
Sir Douglas:
Heh, I'm not even in the right period my own darn self. I'm sort of a "the entire 13th century exploded on me and I picked up whatever wasn't covered in peasant guts." I have early period stuff, late period stuff...I'm a mess. ;D
