Re: LF Books on medieval peasant material culture
The reviews on that particular piece are rather low. The Luttrell Psalter by the same author has better reviews. Is there much difference? Should I get the one on rural depictions because of its focus? Thanks! It depends on what you're looking for. I suspect a lot of the people who ordered Medieval...

This looks a bit like a gardecorps, but with a bit of embroidered embellishment.
See http://larsdatter.com/gardecorps.htm for some links to historical examples and some modern re-creations.
(There's also a linkspage with images of knighting ceremonies, in case that's of interest.)

You'll find some examples at http://larsdatter.com/children.htm For a baby, I'd suggest a white shirt with a large neckline, along the lines of the Durán Madonna .

There's a recipe for a hardtack-like biscuit in the Manual de Mugeres, but that's 16th century -- may not be quite early enough for you.

Re: Details from Guiron le Courtois
I carried Wil's helmet for a demo once, and I didn't get a special stick. I feel cheated. King Rene didn't say anything about special sticks. He just said to use lance truncheons. BNF Français 2692 has a helmet carried by hand by one squire who's vanishing into the crease between fols. 46v and 47.
