Yep. The device dates from 1033, and signifies strength, power, honor, and loyalty. The arms on my shield are a variation of those usually associated with my surname.
Sir Wolf:
oh yes i know how to do that ( :) I used to make leather armour as a hobby hehhe)
thanks for the sizing and the paint idea!

*Bump*
--- Quote from: Sir Wolf on 2010-07-17, 18:59:34 ---so i started a pair of ailettes today. i cut a heavy piece of leather and dyed it. i am thinking of backing it with either another piece of leather or a piece of wood to attach it to the hauberk via ties. I need to paint the rampant lion on each with red as well.

Not yet. I'm hoping to get my gambeson project going in the next two weeks, and then I'll actually have something to attach them to ;D!

Okay, so where are you gentlemen at with these projects? Have any pictures yet? :)
Sir Edward:
Coincidentally, I just attached my ailettes last night. I plan to have them at the knightings. I never did get around to painting the charges, but they still have the color divisions to match my shield, so it's all good. :)
