Knowing how many ladies love fancy footwear, even when worn by a man. I could not resist showing you these worn by Andrew as part of his suit of armour. Very natty!
This armour shown is based on something used in around 1450, when a full suit of armour, weapons and a couple of well trained war horses could only be afforded by the very wealthy man about town.
In the Royal Armouries Museum here in Leeds the are several suits of armour on display. However I really much prefer to catch someone like Andrew who can acually tell you what it is like to wear it in action.

ReplyDeleteI read or heard that a suit of armor weighs a ton and required an enormous horse to carry the man dressed in armor. I guess the feet needed to be protected from dropped swords, or worse, those who would try to chop off your toes.
ReplyDeleteHope he didn't KICK you~! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look comfortable to wear. Or for that matter very good arch protection for your foot!
