'''Weapons'''
Now, I'm going to be liberal with weapons, armour and combat skills. Base skill for culturally appropriate weapons is 30%, foreign weapons would have 20% and wierdo odd weapons is at 10%. Crossbows and firearms are at 25%, as are hand to hand attacks and club. Pick what you want within reason. The English preferred weapons were the infamous longbow, the bill (a very complex and dangerous short poll arm), the halberd, swords* and dagger. The French preferred crossbows which were more useful in sieges over bows, and also had a predilection for one handed axes and maces as well as the sword. The only shields used at the time was the huge gunner's or crossbowman's pavise, which isn't really as much as a mobile fortification, and the small buckler used along with a one handed chopping sword. Most fighting done in a non-battlefield setting will be with your trusty dagger, so don't stint it!

Armour is as the following;
Head: Sallet or kettle hat.
Body armour: [Commoner] Padded Jack, [Bourgeoisie] Brigandine with/without plackart, [Gentry] Plate harness and arming coat. A padded jack is far cry from earlier efforts, and many knights preferred to wear them in the middle of battle. They are just as protective as higher levels of armour except against thrusts, but rapidly degrade in combat. Wearers tend to strip foes of their jacks as they degrade. A brigandine is a textile coat lined with shaped plates attached to the liner, often cut from out of date plate armour. They are a flexible, very protective armour and often worn by even very wealthy knights, especially on the march or in camp.
Limb armour: Germanic or Italianate [Gentry only] harness. Germanic is more flexible but takes for ever to put on, and Italianate is less flexible but easier to don and provides marginally more protection. Often some fighters just wear gauntlets and elbows, the rest being too much bother. Archers do not wear arm harness.

Gentry will have two horses, Bourgeoisie a horse and commoners walk.

'''Background'''

Pretty boy Pierre hails from Malavieille, a small castle high up above a valley in the Hérault. Pierre speaks Occitan and French and probably can't write.

Malavieille was given to the Bishops of Lodève during the Albigenisan Crusade (1223 I think). An early 14th Century bishop of Lodève was an interesting fellow called Bernard Gui.  So I reckon I can say that Pierre's family just about managed not to have Cathar credentials so were not persecuted, and then had a certain patronage of the bishops, though they were never returned full ownership of their castle and estates, just to be sure. This could mean he is escorting Peter of York home after a visit to the south. And they have the same name
