Medieval Armor (PBR)

Metal body armor became an increasingly important aspect of military strategy and chivalry during the Middle Ages as knights perfected their fighting techniques and personal styles. Not only did it protect wearers' vulnerable areas, but it also allowed the aristocracy to show off their wealth and power.

Chain mail was the most common type of medieval body armor, consisting of hundreds of interwoven rings made up of steel and metal. While flexible yet strong against weapons like swords and war hammers, chain mail could be cumbersome to wear.

Early 14th century plate armor was the first type of body armor widely worn in Europe, protecting the chest, abdomen, hips and back from various bladed and impact weapons. Unfortunately it could also be penetrated by arrows and bolts due to its thin metal composition.

Shields were an essential piece of armor for medieval warriors. They shielded the wearer's face, neck and shoulders from blows from bladed or impact weaponry such as swords, polearms and war hammers. Shields often combined with other forms of armour like mail or plate to maximize protection.
Helmets (helms) were made of cylindrical metal that covered the head and hooded the face. Generally shaped like conical caps, there were also flat-top versions available.

These shields were usually decorated with patterns or designs and sometimes embellished with feathers or other additions such as crests. They were often used in tournaments for decoration purposes, though rarely found on the battlefield.
