The English Infantryman c.1320 in Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 1 by Ian Heath (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/WRG/Middle_Ages_1-14-English_Infantryman-1320.htm) is based on English infantry in Battle, Holkham Picture Bible Book, British Library MS Add. 47660, folio 40, 1326-27AD
One man has a mail coat but most wear a quilted aketon under the tunic, glimpsed at the forearms or hem. Some have mail hoods, others quilted versions, that of the left figure buttoning up at the chin. Leather gauntlets seem to be worn, only one man having plate versions. Small bucklers with metal boss and rim can be seen. (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/14/Holkam_Bible-f40-lower.htm)
On the upper part of this folio are 14th century English knights in battle (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/14/Holkam_Bible-f40.htm). Of similar date are a brass of an English knight, Sir Roger de Trumpington II (d. 1326), in armour with shield, in Trumpington Church, England (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/14/Trumpington.htm) and a damaged mural with a scene of the Martyrdom of St Thomas Becket, St Peter ad Vincula Church, South Newington, England, c.1330AD (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/14/Murder_of_Becket-South_Newington_Church.htm)

Very nice finds, D.
Especially like the illustration of the knights.

Great finds D
Interesting and useful find. A pity most film makers never seem to seek out this type of information.
