What period's that? It's one of my favourite attacks, personally, aiming at the forearm when your opponent's got more reach than you. Only bit I can reach :(
The Dark Age stuff I'm more used to looking at, the most common injury seems to have been on the left leg, just below where the bottom of the (round) shield stops. Fits nicely with our most common attack: aim at the head, the shield goes up to guard it, redirect your attack to the now undefended leading leg.
I'd guess that when kite shields came in, this became less common. And was no doubt *why* they came in :)
