    Arms are covered by the Rerebrace
at the top of the arm,
 
the Couters at the elbows and the
 
Vambraceon the forearm
( just visible under the Gauntlet).
 
 
  These can be three pieces that are assembled on the arming doublet and at the elbow using laces, or articulated like the knees, to make the whole assembly stronger. The popular design for English armour has the three piece laced arrangement.
 
  The Man at Arms is wearing a three piece laced arrangement
