| The sword-belt was narrow, and was worn diagonally over the taces, and the general form of the sword remained unaltered. |
| From the taces are hung Tassets, ending in a point towards the lower edge. |
| The tastefully-decorated breastplate has laminated gussets, and taces to which are attached the conspicuous lamboys. |
| In most of the examples which we give of this period, the taces have a mail skirt or fringe attached to the lowest plate. |
| The taces are hinged at the side for convenience in putting on and off. |
| The breastplate is short, and consequently the taces are more numerous than when the breastplate is longer. |
