Sir Rodney:
I’m just irritated with the narrator’s beard as it’s much nicer than mine.   ;)

Sir Patrick:
So if the lenedier did not come about until the later 14th century, what was the suspension method for an early 14th century set up consisting of maille chauses, cops, and shynabalds?

The sources for the lendenier go all the way back to the late 12th century (on the early side of the Swedish will's dating), but 13th century for sure.  The King's Mirror is dated 1250 and doesn't state the name lendenier specifically but that's what it's talking about.  The two poems I mentioned are both 13th century.

A Swedish will from somewhere 1172-1280
... infirmus, animi mei tamen compos, testamentum meum in hunc modum disposuj ordinandum. In primis monachis Noue vallis, apud quos locum eligio sepulture, confero meliorem equm meum bene faleratum et loricam meam cum galea, spaldenaer, plato, lendenaer, stikchata husu ...

They're even mentioned late 15th century.

Some form of the lendenier existed from at least the late 12th century through the 15th century from what we can document.

So yes, a lendenier is more than appropriate for your kit's era.  Did something in the video make you think it was only a late 14th century thing?

**I've added an attached word document with all the sources I'm currently aware of for the lendenier or something like it**

Sir Patrick:
(Face palm) Was I even watching that video?!?  Thanks for repeating for us slower children 😉

lol, no I just wanted to make sure I didn't make it too confusing in the video.  After a week or two when I go back and watch something that I thought made sense when I said it, it can suddenly be like "what the heck was I saying???"   The last thing I want is for something I said to end up causing more confusion because I didn't explain it well enough. :)

There's enough bad information and confusion out there that I don't want to add to the noise.
