The typical '''equipment of a [[noble]]man in the [[15th century]]''' would vary depending on the wealth of the man. As a result there could be quite wide variations in the equipment worn.

A noble would typically wear the best armour he could afford

This guide leans heavily towards an [[England|English]] depiction.

==Equipment==
===[[Weapon|Arms]]===
* [[spear]]
* [[dagger]] or [[knife]] - bollock or [[rondel]] types were common.
* [[sword]] - [[arming sword]]s and [[falchion]]s combined with a [[buckler]] were popular as secondary weapons and a heavily armoured men at arms might have a [[longsword]].
* [[pole axe]] - a multi-purpose pole axe instead of using a shield.
* [[lance]]
* various other [[weapon]]s ([[mace]]s etc) depending on the personal taste of the noble. Maces were particularly useful for incapacitating an opponent, and enabling their capture for [[ransom]].

===[[Armour]]===
* [[helmet]] - [[basinet]] or [[sallet]] or other similar type. The basinet fell out of favour by the mid [[15th century]] to be replaced by the sallet. A [[gorget]] would be worn in addition to the sallet or might wear an [[armet]] (later part of the century).
* A pair of [[brigandine]]s - typically only worn by a less wealthy noble but a wealthy noble might wear a brigandine when travelling in hostile territory in case of attack.
* [[maille|mail]] [[standard]] (standart) - mail collar to protect the neck
* [[plate armour]] - sections of armour might also be worn attached to a brigandine even if the noble could not afford a full harness with [[breastplate]]. The sabatons might be omitted if the noble expected to fight on foot in ''"the English fashion"''.
* [[maille|mail]] skirt - to protect the groin. Internal link diameter approximately 5-6 mm and a wire thickness of approximately 1.2 to 1.6 mm and of round drawn wire. Entirely riveted.

===[[Clothing]]===
* [[hose]] - joined, [[wool]] hose of one colour.
* [[shirt]] - [[linen]]
* [[arming doublet]] - of [[wool]] or [[fustian]]. [[Maille|mail]] [[voider]]s would be attached to the doublet to protect areas not covered by the rest of the armour.
* turn[[shoes]] - typically ankle [[boot]]s, possibly longer. He might wear long, riding boots with [[spur]]s.

===Modern Misconceptions===
* Incredibly heavy harness that required the noble to be winched onto his [[horse]] or not be able to regain their feet if they fell over
* [[Tournament]] armour being worn into battle
* Incredibly heavy swords
* [[Two handed sword]]s
* Always taking people prisoner
* Always honouring [[sanctuary]] taken in a [[church]]
* Always being [[chivalry|chivalrous]] on the battlefield
