Laudes.
Great Staff the clothes can be trusted more than the armor though.
I dont feel confident to accept many armor details, although they might have existed.
Please have a look at this knight
http://soldiers-russia.com/new_soldiers ... nner_2.htm
and you will see details appearing in 13 cent. hagiography.
There are armor fragments of preserved leather in the Novgorod museum that prompt you to think hagiografy is not so "stylizised" as we think.
Kind regards
