Description
Concept art created for DAC. A knight of the Kingdom of France. The figure is sectioned medially to illustrate the layers comprising his armor. The stance adopted is from Fiore dei Liberi's the Flower of Combat (in this case, from the guards for 'Sword in Two Hands').
Made by AsherNitin.
Oh, a juppe de wambeson upon plate armour and a haubergeon.
Is that what this particular textile defense is called? I was under the impression it was simply called a pourpoint.
This cross section is quite wrong in regards to the legs. Padded armor was never worn under metal leg armor in Europe in any period, with leg harnesses simply being worn over normal hosen. Hosen would likewise not have arming points, as the cuisse would be hitched to the arming doublet/arming belt. Padding overall is not typically worn under plate barring arming doublets/pourpoints/aketons, which themselves are quite thin and have more in common with a thick doublet than a full gambeson.
I believe you're right. My design in picture was wrong. Heavily quilted hose for legs are wrong, and arming point on hose are also wrong. I drew this before I had fully studied leg armor. (We recently had a prolonged discussion on padded under-armor for plate legs on our Discord. We eventually reached a consensus.) Thank you for your pointing out. I would trim the drawing for legs accordingly, if time permits, but right now we are backed up. Assets pending. Still, you are correct on both counts. My newly made arming garments for the mod avoids the error my older art here has made.
