Many images of brigandine and splinted armour have survived to the present days. Such type of limb protection was widely used in the XIV-XV centuries. Some sources speak that brigandine parts appeared even earlier.

Even when plate armour came in use, brigandine defense was popular. The reason of popularity was low price. Also, it was much easier to make such gear – any experiences armourer could meet such task.  

Gravestone of baron Hugh Hastings (early XIV century) shows him in armour, part of which are brigandine tassets. It’s easy-to-see level rows of rivets’ heads. Chainmail stockings and plate knee caps are additional parts of legs protection. Such combination of defense gear is typical for that period.

To enforce protection properties, crafters used metal strips and plates, which were riveted to the base. Such harness was more reliable and rather elastic. Both, tassets and greaves were being made this way. You can see good example of splinted protection on the gravestone of Günther von Schwarzburg (1349 year), where count is dressed in the splinted armour.

Thigh protection and greaves were fixed from the back side of leg with leather belts. With straps, warrior attached them to the chausses or holes in the belt. Together with plate knee caps, knight had reliable protection and could fight in mounted or dismounted actions.

Could not be happier with these! It's incredible how unobstructive armor is when it's fit to the wearer, and these leg plates are a great example! Well made, sturdy, and compressable, I've got full range of movement while wearing them. They also roll up for easy storage!
