Making Pteruges (or at least trying to make Pteruges!)

[MartinWard]

ps.

subarmalis would provide as it did in later periods an extra layer of protection , it would at least stop mail links being driven into the body! this has been demonstated by the Royal Armories.Plate armour, the subarmalis would also, as with mail, absorb some of the concussive shock from a blow, chafing is a secondary with the subarmalis, after all chafing can be stopped with a simple sheepskin.
