It is more than obvious the importance of leg protection for cavalry, and not only in the 15th century, in general it is one of the protections that can be seen earliest among this type of troops and takes on great importance with the rise of troops on horseback. The intricate work of the German style armour is a work of indisputable beauty and without a doubt the example that we show with this product is a good example. Our version is based on an original armour from southern Germany that is currently on display in a collection in Berlin. This generally reflects the German trend of these times, which can also be seen influencing Belgium and Austria for example. The lateral hinge system is seen for example also in that of Valdemar VI that is currently in the Royal Armouries or in that of the Archduke and later Emperor Maximilian I.
