Lower Leg Greaves
This pair of medieval leg greaves offer complete leg protection for re-enactors. 380mm (15 inches) high. They have been designed to match our polyens and cuisses. Each piece is pre-fitted with a pin and is ready to be locked in position on your polyen to fit your leg. To fit perfectly to your upper legs you may need to drill a hole or preferably make a vertical slot in the bottom of the knee cop for the pin to slide in.
A greave (from 12th cent ury French greve "shin", of uncertain origin) is a piece of armour that protects the leg.
Available in high polish.
Historically they were often made in matched pairs (a pair of greaves), greaves may be constructed of materials ranging from padded cloth to steel plate - as our ones here.
