IT’S QUESTING TIME HUZZAH

Giselle and Lance have gracefully made a list of “quests” for me and John, I believe you will be in for a treat!

This is Sir Rhett Wren (and Sir John Rook) signing off for now, merry quests for all and much luck

Fun Fact! If you tap your knuckles against your knights chestplate and ask who their heart beats for, themselves or you, you can stun-lock them long enough to kiss the side of their helm without protest!

Hi, I have questions about the knee part on armors

How ?

More precisely, is it fixed on the thigh part, if yes how, is it flexible in a way and how much can you bend your knees ? Could you flex all the leg like normal or does it restrain movement ?

Hi !!

It depends if your leg armor is fully articulated or floating.

Articulated means that the cuisse and the poleyn (knee) are linked together with rivets, the articulation comes from different interlocked iron layers, it looks like this :

And floating means that the cuisse and the knee have individual attachment, that can still be linked with leather straps :

Since floating is less restrained, it's probably more flexible, but if the articulated is well crafted it also allows plenty of room to move :)

This usually is how flexible articulated can be /!\ without chainmail or padded pants

(all of this are references for european ~14th 15th medieval armors , they change a lot depending on where and when)

Many pictures come from Age of Craft or Medieval Extreme

Please be mindful that i didn't draw any chainmail underneath, first bc im lazy, but every armor from XV century had some : over the gambeson, under the plate, fully or on located areas. They also used pants gambesons.

Also this is just one example, XVth had so much armor variations for any of the parts above
