Me again. Does anyone know anything about medieval armour/combat?
I'm looking for a name for a fitting (or doodah, to use the technical term) which a knight would have inserted his lance into, presumably to hold it steady. Unfortunately I don't have a picture or anything more to go on ~ I'm not even sure if the doodah would have been on his saddle or somewhere on his suit of armour. I've hunted high and low for this term, obviously without success. Any help would be appreciated
Example with blank: The knight fitted his lance into the ________ and advanced towards his opponent.
P.S. I imagine it must've looked something like a rowlock.
