1306. Sir Robert de Setvans, Chartham, Kent. 1 c. 1290. Sir Richard de Boselyngthorpe, Buslingthorpe, Lines, (half effigy). C. 1310. A half effigy, Croft, Lincolnshire. 1 A palimsest fragment, c. 1300, on reverse of the half-effigy of a lady, r. 1360, at Clifton Campville, Staffs, shows a portion of a knight, some- what similar to the Setvans brass. 146 MILITARY COSTUME Chain mail is the chief defence of all these. They are usually described as belonging to the COMPLETE MAIL Period, although we... find genouillieres or poleyns, possibly of plate, covering the knees. The mail (Fr. Maille) is repre- sented in two ways, either interlaced^ as at Stoke d'Abernon, Acton, Chartham, and Buslingthorpe ; or banded^ that is, apparently sewn to a foundation in parallel rows or bands, as at Croft and Trumpington ; though in the latter the lines separating the rows of links are not engraved. Of chain mail were worn : HAWBERK' on the body and arms ; the gloves, not divided into fingers, being of one piece with the sleeves, and fastened by a leather strap round the wrists.
