[edit] Peytral as term for barding

From my copy of Ffoulkes's Armourer and his craft, I see "peytral" listed as a term for a specific piece of barding, not referring to the concept of horse armour as a whole (as is indicated in the article). I intend to change this as soon as I return from vacation (with the appropriate reference), unless there are any differing opinions. --Eyrian 22:13, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge all barding together

There are currently individual articles for each of the main pieces of horse armour:Champron,Criniere, Croupiere, Flanchard, Peytral. My reasons for merging them together onto this page are twofold. 1. each of the articles are stubs, and it is hard to know how much more information can be added (that is not applicable to some other or all pieces). 2. If some one is seeking to understand how the armour works, it is easier to see them all together (and compare) than to try and jump from page to page. Gwinva 19:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Since there have been no objections, I will go ahead with the merge.Gwinva 15:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
