Комплекс
The long surcoat (instead of a more tight-fitting 'cyclas') is the only old-fashioned detail.
Sir Edmund's effigy doesn't show any prove of wearing a coat-of-plates over his hauberk. Which is remarkable since his limbs are completely encased in plates. The camail, attached to his bascinet by vervelles, is a typical new feature of the 1340s. Early plate gauntlets protect his hands, besagews cover the armpits, and a gambeson is worn under the hauberk to give extra protection against sword blows. Rowel spurs finish off this beautiful effigy. Strangely the sword-belt is still attached to the scabbard by leather straps instead of metal rings.
