14th century: Sword belts sit at the waist. There is evidence for sword belt hidden under coat armour, but a slit allows sword & scabbard to be on the outside. These are general observations based on memories of funerary monumeny detals. Sorry but I do not have cites or examples at hand. Cheers, Ti...

i'm also gonna add to stay warm you ever wear mail and plate harness when it's about 30' or less?? in the wind? You'll freeze yer butt off. Put a big puffy coat over it all and you stay warm armoured and combat effective. And am I remembering rightly that there was a little mini-Ice Age back then (...

Sharp stuff, mi amigo! Me likee!

One recommendation - If you want, I have several tomes with design elements (including lots of flowers and the like) from that era, that may help you sharpen up on the floral work, and take it from snazzalicious to murder-worthy.
