13 Ιουν 2018 · English medieval knights wore metal armour of iron or steel to protect themselves from archers and the long swords of opponents. From the 9th century CE, chain mail suits gave protection and freedom of movement until solid plate armour became more common in the 14th century CE.
Plate armour could have consisted of a helmet, a gorget (or bevor), pauldrons (or spaulders), couters, vambraces, gauntlets, a cuirass (back and breastplate) with a fauld, tassets and a culet, a mail skirt, cuisses, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons.
Plate armor emerged as a dominant form of protection during the medieval era, evolving from the earlier chain mail. It was made up of steel or iron plates, affixed to a fabric or leather base, and offered superior protection against blunt force and edged weapons.
