(University Library, Codex Palatinus Germanicus 112, Heidelberg, Germany)
The spare and linear style of drawing seen in certain 12th-century German manuscripts means that some assumptions have to be made when interpreting their arms and armour. No surface pattern is given to the mail but these figures must certainly wear long-sleeved mail hauberks with (E) or without (B and C) mittens. They have integral mail coifs drawn across the lower part of their faces under tall, domed helmets with substantial nasals. The shields are extremely large kite-shaped types. The two visible swords have tapering blades and either almond (C) or flattened nut-shaped (E) pommels.
