EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases two remarkable examples of medieval armor from the 12th and 13th centuries, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online. On the right, a knight from the late 12th century dons a chain hauberk, hose, a steel helmet, and wields a battle-axe. The hauberk, a type of mail shirt, is made up of interlinked metal rings that provide protection against sharp weapons. The hose, or chausses, are armored leggings that cover the legs from the waist down. The helmet, with its distinctive nasal guard, offers protection for the head and face. The battle-axe, a versatile and deadly weapon, was commonly used in close combat during this period. On the left, the armor dates from around 1295 to 1312. This suit features steel plates on the shoulders and arms, which represent an evolution in armor design. The helmet, although not visible in this image, would have also been made of steel plates for added protection. The combination of chain mail and plate armor was becoming increasingly popular during this time, offering greater protection against various types of weapons. These intricately detailed armor pieces not only serve as a testament to the technological advancements during the medieval period but also evoke the spirit of the brave knights and soldiers who wore them in battle. This evocative image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and craftsmanship of medieval armor.
