Barak and the Lady Johanna.
Having picked Barak out
at first sight, the
Lady Johanna has been
overseeing his training,
and has obviously made
a friend in the process...

attends.

Medieval Turnshoes.
These shoes are made of
red deer hide uppers
with thick cow hide
soles. They are sewn
inside-out, then turned
after stitching to hide
the stitches.

Off to the Tiltyard.
The Lady Johanna and Barak
are escorted by a halberdier. |

Turnshoes.
These shoes are extremely
comfortable unless you
are on man-made surfaces.

12th C. Norman.
The Knights of St. Denys
is an equestrian
Timeline group,
and different time
periods are allowed.
Our members can
portray from 850 AD to
1525 AD.

Armour Undergarments.
Here our Norman knight is shown in a padded
gambeson made of linen and stuffed with wool.
A similarly padded coif is on his head.
Woolen hosen cover his legs, and a short
boot of turnshoe construction completes
the outfit.
