“The passe-gardes we have⟳ mentioned are also clearly visible, and notice⟳ should be taken of the horizontal plates, called taces, extending from the breastplate to protect⟳ the hips. As we have⟳ seen in the last⟳ reign, two small pointed plates, called tuilles, are affixed by straps in the front to the lowest of the taces, so as to give⟳ a further protection to the thigh; and under them is visible a short tunic of mail, which, we thus learn⟳, still continued in military use⟳.”
