Apologies if this link is already posted elsewhere. A quick site search didn't turn it up. I ran across it googling for winchester bible illustrations.
Of particular note, an excellent diagram of a norman sword belt. In English, for some strange reason.

Thanks a lot Corby. I have been looking for someone who has a better resource to gambesons of the time, so I practically jumped out of my seat when that was one of the main articles. And my girlfriend speaks French, so she might even be able to read the original. Awesome.
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.
