The attire is not 11th Century (1000-1099 AD), but is instead more akin to the 13th Century (1200-1299 AD). The first thing worth noting is that the famous Great Helmets or Heaumes wouldn't be introduced until 1180 AD, in the form of the "Enclosed Helmet". The Enclosed Helmet is quite primitive compared to the popular designs in media. It had a slight protrusion in the mouth area, it didn't cover the back of the neck, and it had a square profile. The Great Helmet you have depicted is the Maciejowski Helmet, introduced in 1240 AD, which is 13th Century.
Knights of the 11th Century likely never wore chain armor with complete sleeves and leggings, so the Maille Mittens and Chausses should be absent in this image. Knights of the time were always depicted with leather or quilted boots and usually had their hands left bare. Maille Mittens probably did not see use during the 11th Century, or were at the very least rare. Depictions of Norman Knights by Matthew Paris occasionally depicted them, but these were drawn in 1240-1259 AD, and could easily have historical inaccuracies. Chausses were almost certainly not introduced until the early 13th Century.

Yee, I was unsure of it now that I look at him.
Since he is also an imagination of a character, I thought I would put a little inaccuracy to get the idea that the protagonists memory is sort of vague about said style of armour. If that makes sense.
Thanks for the knowledge though, I appreciate the correction.
