Body Armor

Warriors would have fallen like leaves in autumn if there were no armor. Body armor was essential to the warriors of medieval times, just like bullet-proof jackets are essential to our military or police. Medieval armor, like the mail or chainmail armor, was designed by the Europeans in the 500BC. Later, small discs of iron or additional plates were added to the armor for better protection of the vulnerable areas of the human body. Since nowadays such armor is not a requirement, people, especially, historians, like to collect such armors. These armors used leather or hardened cloth on the arms and legs area. Their armor even had iron caps, to protect the face! Medieval swords and armor go hand in hand because their essence is realized when paired together.
