Noun

schynbald (plural schynbalds)

  1. A piece of plate armor (from the 1200s to the 1400s) for the lower leg (shin), a metal plate, often strapped over mail or padding, now especially one which did not completely enclose the lower leg like a greave might.
    • 2012, David Nicolle, Witold Sarnecki, Medieval Polish Armies 966–1500, Bloomsbury Publishing (→ISBN), page 34:
      [] early leg defence, such as poleyns and schynbalds, can be seen on the incised tomb-slab of Pakoslaw of Mstyczów, which was made around 1319 (see page 21).

Further reading

  • 1972, Claude Blair, European Armour: Circa 1066 to Circa 1700:
    [] they are frequently referred to in English texts as schynbalds. For the sake of consistency I propose to confine greave to the defence that completely encloses the leg and to use schynbald to denote the [one that does not].
