> Hello everyone,
> Yesterday, I have been to Brussels to see an exhibition of 4 tapestries made in Tournai in the 1470's depicting the Moroccan campaigns of the Portuguese king Afonso V in August 1471.

> Obviously those tapestries show mostly Portugese men at arms, nearly all of them wearing brigandines with brigandines spaulders. There is more than 100 soldiers on each tapestries, you can imagine the diversity of brigandine shown.

> Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take full views of the tapestries as there wasn't enough light to get pictures of good quality. I focused on the details that were more or less at men height.
