Quote:Isn't this twined linen piece now thought to be a greave liner rather than the greave itself?
It was always thought to be a greave liner. James' original report said it was a greave liner. Armour needs to be thicker - hence the proposal for duplex (two layers of twined linen) and triplex (three layers of twined linen) constructions.
