Dark Ages: 400 - 1400 OR 5th century - 15th century (theyo re the same thing)

Commander - The famous english warlord John Chandos

Where is this person from? - An english knight, who was commanded to assist the English-backed Montfort faction during the Battle of Auray, the descisive battle of the Breton War of Succession. His appearance - he would be wearing heavy plate armor, which was in its early forms during that time period. The Helm, gauntlets and greaves would be steel or iron, and the chest would be chainmail with a colored tunic-like thing. The helms are mostly conical, shaped something like a triangle. Sadly, he was one of the less than 1000 Montfort/English casualties that battle. His main body armor would be a chainmail whatchamacallit.

Here goes nothing!
