Frankish and Germanic belt buckles and plates.

Frankish and Germanic belt buckles and plates The Franks and Germans often would have buckles with both a buckle and a plate that would fasten the belt on the center of the waist.  This type of belt does not allow for much adjustment in size and would need to be adjusted every time you gained or lost weight.   Medieval people's weight probably did not increase and decrease as much as our modern weight tends to change.  The diet during the middle ages was not as robust as our modern diet and probably did not allow for as much change
