I am tempted to model this army with Jeanne d'Arc. I am no expert in the period so I am uncertain what it should look like.
This period predates any widespread use of barbutes and sallets does it not? Are the knights still wearing primarily the houndskull bascinets http://therionarms.com/reenact/therionarms_c1078.html , perhaps some of the plain bascinets with aventails http://therionarms.com/reenact/therionarms_c1103.html and perhaps some early barbutes, http://therionarms.com/reenact/therionarms_c1076.html ?
Do they still wear jupons and carry shields? Or is the full plate, sallet helmet and shieldless Gothic armor style dominant?
