Parts of Medieval Armor: Protection and Style

Functional armor is a fundamental piece of military history and the art of medieval war. These imposing pieces of engineering and design not only provided vital protection on the battlefield, but were also an expression of status and style for the knights and warriors of the time. In this article, we will explore the different parts that make up medieval armor, from the head to the feet.

Head: Helmet, Helmet, Basinet and Barbuta

Head protection was of utmost importance in medieval combat. The helmet, helmet, bacinete and barbuta were essential elements. The helmet, with its folding visor, provided visibility and defense, while the bacinete and helmet offered a variety of designs and styles. The barbuta, on the other hand, stood out for its distinctive shape that covered the lower part of the face, leaving room for breathing.

Neck and Gorget: Defense in the Upper Part

The collar and gorget were key components that protected the knight's neck and upper chest. These elements were designed to prevent injuries in a vulnerable area and were made with a combination of metal plates and padded materials for greater comfort. Its design varied according to the fashion and functionality of the time.

Upper Trunk: Shoulder Pads, Breastplate and Back

The upper trunk of the armor included the shoulder pads, breastplate and backrest. Shoulder pads protected the shoulders and were essential for the knight's mobility. The breastplate covered the chest and abdomen, while the backrest defended the warrior's back. The combination of these elements provided complete protection for the torso.

Upper Extremities: Elbow Pads and Bracers

The upper extremities also required adequate defense. The elbow pads and armbands were responsible for protecting the knight's elbows and forearms. These pieces, often decorated with elaborate details, not only offered security, but also enhanced the warrior's appearance, demonstrating his status and personal style.

Lower Extremities: Shin Guards, Thigh Guards and Knee Pads

To complete the armor, the lower extremities needed their own protection. Shin guards, thigh guards and knee pads were crucial to protect the knight's legs and knees. These pieces were designed to allow mobility while offering maximum security.
