Codals, also known as elbow pads, are an essential part of armor that have been used throughout history to provide protection for the elbows of warriors and knights. These pieces not only fulfill a protective function, but also play a crucial role in the articulation of the arm and forearm protections. In this article, we will explore the historical importance of codals and their relationship to an integral piece known as Jackchains.

The Evolution of Codals Throughout History

Elbows have their roots in ancient times, where warriors and soldiers of various civilizations understood the need to protect their elbows during battle. In the Middle Ages, plate armor became the norm, and codals became more sophisticated and articulated. These elbow pads allowed for greater flexibility and movement in combat, while also providing solid protection against blows and cuts to this vulnerable area of the body.

As time went by, codals evolved even more, adopting different styles and designs according to the fashion and needs of the time. From the elaborate Renaissance codals to the more functional and simple ones of the World Wars, these pieces of armor have witnessed the evolution of warfare and technology. Today, elbow pads are used in contact sports and personal protection activities, keeping their tradition of elbow protection alive.

The Role of Jackchains in Comprehensive Protection

While codals are essential for protecting the elbows, it is also essential to mention the role of Jackchains in historical armor. Jackchains are additional pieces that connect the arm and forearm guards, ensuring that the armor is articulated and allows proper range of motion. These chains were crucial in ensuring that the warrior could easily maneuver on the battlefield without compromising his safety.

In short, Codals and Jackchains represent the careful engineering and craftsmanship that went into historical armor. Its evolution over the centuries reflects humanity's adaptability to create effective solutions for personal protection in combat situations.
