Tell me about 15th century armor from Poland
The 15th century armor from Poland is a remarkable part of history. It was made up of several components, primarily metal including mail armor, boiled leather and hardened fabric pieces. This combination helped to protect the body from attack with both blunt force trauma as well as swords and arrows. Besides its protective qualities, these suits of armor were intricate works of art and also had many decorations reflecting the social standing or militaristic prowess that an individual may have achieved over their lifetime. Aside from its physical protections, it was also a symbol of power in late medieval times.
Are there any plate armor in use in Poland at the time?
