Description

By the Three Kingdoms period many cavalrymen wore armour and some horses were equipped with their own armour as well. In one battle, the warlord Cao Cao boasted that with only ten sets of horse armour he had faced an enemy with three hundred sets. [28] The horse armour may however have just been metal partial frontal barding or a mixture of metal and rawhide barding rather than fully comprehensive all metal barding. [29] Robinson, K. G. (2004), Science and Civilization in China Volume 7 Part 2: General Conclusions and Reflections, Cambridge University Press

Laminar cuirasses were manufactured in Japan as early as the 4th century. [3] Tankō (laminar), worn by foot soldiers and keikō (lamellar), worn by horsemen were both pre-samurai types of early Japanese cuirass constructed from iron plates connected by leather thongs. The History of Song notes that Song "tools of war were exceedingly effective, never before seen in recent times," [71] and "their weapons and armor were very good", [71] but "their troops weren't always effective." [71] According to Sima Guang, since most military problems came from the north, the military establishment in the south was neglected, leaving soldiers without armour and even cities without gates. [72] The Chinese Empire and other Central Asian and Middle Eastern nations the Mongols faced served as inspiration for this hybrid armor that Mongol Empire warriors wore over the course of centuries. Scale and lamellar armor were the most common types of Mongolian armor. Hardened Leather This section does not cite any sources.

Later at the beginning of the 15th century construction of laminar armour had significantly changed; instead of lacing being used, strips of new laminar armour were riveted to broad straps (like in lorica segmentata). As a result, laminar armour became more reliable than lamellar armour: hidden straps couldn't be cut without the armour being penetrated, the broad straps did not require continuous mending, and the straps were stiffer and more durable than the thinner lacing that was used previously. Laminar armour eventually became more popular than lamellar armour, and almost fully replaced lamellar armour by the end of 15th century. Laminar armor proved to be inexpensive and easier to construct, although was often made to look like simulated lamellar plates. This is known as Kiritsuke iyozane.

Gje In Asia, lamellar armor eventually overtook scale armour in popularity as lamellar restricted the user's movements much less than scale armour.

Lamellar armour has been found in Egypt in a 17th-century BCE context. [3] Sumerian and Ancient Egyptian bas-reliefs depicting soldiers have been argued as portraying the earliest examples of lamellar armour, particularly on chariot drivers, but it is not until the time of the Assyrians (circa 900–600 BCE) that possible examples of lamellar appear in the archaeological record. Among finds of Assyrian armour (often individual or unconnected scales), there are examples that can clearly be classified as scale armour as well as others that appear to be lamellar, and there exist a large number of finds whose function has proven difficult to determine.

Sir William Smith, A Concise dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Publisher Murray, 1898, Original from Indiana University, Digitized Mar 17, 2009, pp.82-83 Cao Zhi mentioned three different kinds of armour, two of which were variants of "brilliant" armour: A common myth is that brigandines were so-named because they were a popular choice of protection for bandits and outlaws. [5] This is untrue. Originally the term "brigand" referred to a foot soldier, and a brigandine was simply a type of armour worn by a foot soldier. It had nothing to do with its alleged ability to be concealed by bandits. In fact, brigandines were highly fashionable and were ostentatiously displayed by wealthy aristocrats both in European and in Asian courts.

Leather lamellar armor

Military technology of the Vikings from the late 8th to the mid-11th century Viking landing at Dublin, 841, by James Ward (1851-1924) The Viking Age sword was for single-handed use to be combined with a shield, with a double edged blade length of up to 90cm (35in). Its shape was still very much based on the Roman spatha with a tight grip, long deep fuller and no pronounced cross-guard. It was not exclusive to the Vikings, but rather was used throughout Europe [6]
