"the 13th and 14th centuries,"
May want to double check those numbers.
Numbers are right, the full plate armor were in use in the mid 1400s, which is the15th century. The "transitional armor" came before that
"platemail" bro, the bri'ish did a number on history didn't they?, thanks for the model mang, but mother of mine, I despise that name, can't shut it about that infamous name
There plated maIl but thats not this.
(Plated mail is mail with plates in the mail.)
@funkmachine7 Ya, this one would be "half-plate" if it needs a name, the one you're referencing is indeed "plated mail" used by the Slavic soldiers and some Arabic troops I think, also some Chinese if I'm not mistaken, the British historians, or well some British historians just grabbed ALL armor and called it "platemail", pretty much all armor that is plate or mail fills that category, meaning +800 years of armor, which of course doesn't make any sense
