Sir Ulrich's kit
SirNathanQ:
Padded Chausses. All the rage underneath your maille.
And look out sir Wolf! You used the C word! CHAIN MAIL!!!!
two more violations before you are kicked off the forum/made fun of.
;D ;D ;D ;D
Sir Patrick:
Isn't chain mail one of those annoying letters you have to send to ten friends or something bad will happen to you? ;D
SirNathanQ:
ah, that must have been what he was referring to.
Sir Edward:
Yeah, that's exactly it, the mail is designed to keep the weapon from cutting and piercing, but only mildly mitigates blunt force. The padding is what deals with that more, and on the legs the padding would tend to be on the thigh. But the good news is that in this period, most of the weapons were of the sword, spear, and other polearm varieties. Hammers and maces weren't as popular yet, since their increased popularity was in response to plate armor.
Sir William:
Sir Ulrich, do you plan on fighting in your kit?
