chausses definition and meaning

What are "chausses"?

Chausses are a type of leggings that were worn by men in medieval Europe. They were made of cloth or leather and were designed to cover the leg from the waist to the ankle. Chausses were typically worn under a tunic or a surcoat and were held up by a belt or a series of cords. They were an important part of a knight's armor, providing protection to the legs during battle. Later on, chausses became more fashionable and were worn as part of civilian dress, often adorned with embroidery or other decorations. By the 15th century, chausses had largely been replaced by hose, which was a more form-fitting type of leg covering.
