The lendenier provided a stable basic for this. Leather laces or straps were used to attach the individual armor plates to the belt. Especially in the 13th and 14th centuries, when leg armor first consisted of separate plates and mail, this was an indispensable method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1568\" data-start=\"1167\"\u003eAlso under textile protection, such as the \u003cstrong data-end=\"1220\" data-start=\"1208\"\u003egambeson\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong data-end=\"1235\" data-start=\"1224\"\u003egambeson\u003c\/strong\u003e, leg pieces were often attached to the lendenier. In many illuminated sources, it is shown that knights and soldiers wore multiple belts to support different parts of the armour. The lendenier prevented the weight from resting entirely on the shoulders, which offered a significant advantage during long battles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1907\" data-start=\"1570\"\u003eWith mail shirts, the lendenier was also important. A chainmail shirt could weigh several kilos and tended to pull downwards.

The classic C-shaped belt has been carefully designed to distribute the weight evenly around your waist. This way you can wear the heavy chainmail and plate armor comfortably on your hips, without overloading your waist or pulling it too tight. The design is inspired by historical armor belts from the 12th-15th centuries. This padded belt really makes a difference when you wear your leg harness directly on it, instead of on your regular belt. The latter option allows your leg harness to slide, bringing the suspension system closer and closer to the center of the belt, with all the known consequences. This belt consists of two layers of sturdy canvas with a layer of real filling in between, which makes all the difference if you are looking for an authentic belt! The different brass aiglets make it possible to secure your plate or chain mail perfectly.

Canonized in 494 AD, his veneration as a Size Martyr spread throughout the centuries across the Middle East and Europe. By the time of the Crusades (11th\/12th century), Saint George had become one of the most venerated military saints. He was praised as a model of chivalry, and the myths and legends surrounding his life and deeds (the most famous - the legend of Saint George and the Dragon) were passed down through generations in the Middle Ages.
