Referenced as figure 43. KNIGHT HOSPITALLER, 14th CENTURY in Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 2 by Ian Heath
This figure, from the grave effigy of Fra Bernat de Foixa (d.1382), depicts characteristic if somewhat incomplete 14th century Western European armour, which is fully described in volume 1. It is unusual for the forearms to be unarmoured by nothing more than mail by this late date, but it is interesting to see that the earlier prohibition of mail mittens with separate fingers had by this time been relaxed. His jupon is red with a white cross (as would have been his shield), the battle-dress of brethren of the Order, while the cloak round his shoulders would have been black, again with a white cross; the cloak would not have been worn in action.
