Changes

During one of my recent revisits to the Bayeux Tapestry, I became suddenly aware of a certain point of detail which, although I previously acknowledged, chose to ignore for convenience sake. Like many other features of the Bayeux Tapestry, the fact that most of the armoured men depicted do not wear (at least externally) sword belts, has largely been ignored by Regia, the exception being "Wiffy" from Ledecestrescire, who from the start has modelled his kit accordingly. It would appear that the sword belt (or baldric) is worn inside the hauberk, and that the sword is placed into the scabbard via a small slit in the hauberk itself.<br>
