Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from De Foix, or Sketches of the Manners and Customs of the Fourteenth Century, Vol. 1 of 3: An Historical Romance
The Esquire Of the Knight, followed his master's steps, well mounted upon a handsome, chestnut-coloured horse. His head was sur mounted by a steel cap, and his body clothed in a thick, quilted coat of leather, closely set with gilt nails; little armour, either plate, or mail, being at this time worn by an Esquire. He was armed with a sword; and from the saddle bow, hung an axe. There, also, depended the helmet of his master; as that ponderous guard for the head, was alone worn by the Knight, over the basinet, in tournament or battle.
