The hauberk had leather laces at key points such as the neck to make it a snug fit and ensure no flesh was left exposed. The arms included mittens (mufflers) which could be passed over the exterior of the hands alternatively, mail or metal plate and leather gauntlets were worn (from the 14th century CE). The coat, which often hung down to the knees, was known as a hauberk. A hooded coat, trousers, gloves, and shoes could all be made from mail and so cover the entire body of the knight except the face. It was made from hundreds of small interlinking iron rings additionally held together by rivets so that the armour followed the contours of the body. Armour lasted well into the age of firearms from the 15th century CE and was even tested against bullets fired at close range but the age of the knight was by then nearly over, soon to be replaced by the cheaper-to-equip soldier who needed far less skill in firing guns and canons.Ĭhain mail armour was commonly used by knights from the 9th up to the late 13th century CE, although it did continue to be worn into the 15th century CE, often under plate armour.

The cash-strapped knight could also hire a suit of armour or, at a push, win a suit by defeating an opponent either at a medieval tournament or in battle itself. There are records, too, of sovereigns replacing armour damaged in battle. Knights had to provide their own armour, but sometimes a sovereign or baron under which they served did give them either a whole or a piece of armour.
