Gauntlets or gauntlets were part of the armor worn by knights in medieval times. They were metal gloves that they used to protect their fingers, hands, wrist area and part of the forearm in the bloody battles of the time. During the 11th and 12th centuries, it consisted of a simple mesh bag with an opening at the cuff to allow the hand out.
They became leather gloves with an iron circle on the back and others made of mesh that were buttoned on the sleeve. In the fourteenth century, the fingers are separated, up to the middle of the sixteenth to be able to fire the pistol grip.
