Sir Deornoth

Sir Deornoth, Josua's best friend and most loyal knight.
His armor is based on Italian armors made for the English market, what it's usually called Italian export armor. It has recognizable characteristics of Milanese armor, but with some key features optimized for the English style of combat from the mid 15th century, like symmetrical arms and smaller couters.
This kind of armor was usually worn in conjunction of a great bascinet, for the very heavy infantry configuration of the Englishmen, but I decided to make Deornoth with a lighter helmet, a barbute. The reason behind this is because when I read the books my brain put a barbute in his head for some reason! Also, he's wounded in the head, so that would be more plausible if he was wearing a lighter helmet.
The only non English nor Milanese element is the waffenrock (the blue cloth fauld), which is really a late 15th century german element, but I thought it would look cool on him.
