Hi 
I use the Wikipedia well. And I have doubt...
For example... I examine it about a "sabaton(solleret)".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabaton
In the section of "Components of medieval armour"
I watch the illustration of the armor which is lots holed.
The details of this armour.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ren%C3%A9_d...%A8cle.jpg
It is described as follows:
Rene d'Anjou Livre des tournois France Provence XVe siecle BNF {{PD-art}} Category:Illuminated manuscripts Category:Medieval miniature
I think that probably it is the illustration of manuscripts of the 15th century.
However, I do not know it in detail.
What is this armour???

Thanks Mr. Matt Easton!

I understood.
Tournaments with wooden clubs ... It is drawn on this illustration?

Dang, a question I could actually answer correctly and look smart for a fleeting moment and someone else goes and answers it.

to Mr. Matt Easton.
Thank you for a detailed commentary.
I found this page...
http://www.princeton.edu/%7Eezb/rene/renebook.html#Body
Hereafter follows the fashion and style of the bascinet, the cuir boulli and the crest.
"And to see the principal and best fashion for tourneying, drawn here below is a perforated cuirass in the best and most appropriate fashion and style possible for the tourney. "
There was the same image(wikipedia) and your same commentary was written.
to Colt Reeves
Thanks
