At this picture we can see man in a short hauberg and simple helm witch nasal and cheeks protection.
His weanpons constitute round small shield and jawelin made for throwing.
He also have a shortsword maked for slashing.
That single man is in infrantry but nobles usually serve in cavalery

At this picture we can see the member of the Hospitaleri order.Im sorry for little misunderstanding in this picture, because we can see brother in black robe but the black robes with white maltan cross were reserwed for normal autfit When Knights of Saint John(Hospitalers)were moving into battle they were wearing red robes with white crosses This palticular knight have long chainmail with chain gauntlets, the chain leggins and great helm on his head. He have also the arm and forearm plate protection.Forearm protection was used by archers. As weanpons he have short arming sword made for stabing & slashing and a migdal shield |

In this picture we can see the man wearing connection of chain and plate armour.
Everything is covered in plates without armpits and the elbows. On a head he have helm called "hund helm".
He should also had cover his back of calces in chain but this one is just a model.
As a weapon he had half board sword.
As you can see that he don't have a shield,because shields were too heavy for a warrior covered in plates.
