Not necessary. The Worcester Art Museum recently ended up with a large collection of armor. We've seen a limited display of it a couple of times. I wondered at first about the lack of a steel "cup", but soon learned that all his heavy stuff was intended for use mounted on horses, and there is thus no need for protection of crotch and rear end.

I found this piece of contemporary art in another section of the museum amusing in that regard. <http://vps343.pairvps.com:8080/emuseum/view/objects/asitem/People@17330/0?t:state:flow=ac2c6c92-1bc7-413e-bb46-c64d96311ec9>
