Clifford Rogers asked about an interesting passage in Bertrandon de la
Broquerie (1439) discussing what armor to wear on crusade. He says footmen
should all have their hands armored, "and I'd just as soon have the
gauntlets that are made in Germany of cuyr boully as others." [Voyage
d'Outremer, p. 227]
The passage is.
et au regart de moy, je auroye aussi cher des ganteletz que on fait en
Allemaigne de cuyr boully que d'autres.

Anyone shed any light on this?
