As far as can be gathered from recent research the passe-guard is a reinforcing piece for the right elbow, used for jousting. The jousting was very successful; though some were necessarily discomfited, almost every one contrived to obtain some distinction.
His extensive array of tilting and jousting suits was kept at Greenwich, and an inventory taken of them upon his death.
