An armour (spelled armor in the US) is a protective covering that is used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an object, individual, or vehicle by weapons or projectiles, usually during combat, or from damage caused by a potentially dangerous environment or action. • The word armour began to appear in the Middle Ages as a derivative of Old French. It is dated from 1297 as a mail, defensive covering worn in combat . The word originates from the Old French armure, itself derived from the Latin armatura meaning arms and/or equipment , with the root armare meaning arms or gear . • Armour has been used throughout recorded history. It has been made from a variety of materials, beginning with rudimentary leather protection and evolving through mail and metal plate into today's modern composites. • Significant factors in the development of armour include the economic and technological necessities of its production. For instance, plate armour first appeared in Medieval Europe when water-powered trip hammers made the formation of plates faster and cheaper. • Well-known armour types in European history include the lorica hamata, lorica squamata, and the lorica segmentata of the Roman legions, the mail hauberk of the early medieval age, and the full steel plate harness worn by later medieval and renaissance knights, and breast and back plates worn by heavy cavalry in several European countries until the first year of World War I (1914–15). The samurai warriors of feudal Japan utilised many types of armour for hundreds of years up to the 19th century. • The gambeson in particular was used both as a complete armour unto itself and underneath mail and plate to cushion the body and prevent chafing. It was very insulatory and thus uncomfortable, but its protection was vital for the soldier. • For common soldiers the gambeson, combined with a helmet as the only additional protection, remained a common sight on European battlefields during the entire Middle Ages, and its decline – paralleling that of plate armour – came with the Renaissance, as the use of firearms became widespread, until by the 18th century it was no longer in military use. • Link to Knyght Errant Channel • / neosonic66 • Link to Schola Gladiatoria Channel • / scholagladiatoria • Link to my gofundme campaign in case you wish to donate :D • https://www.gofundme.com/muromachi-pe... • Follow me on my social networks: • / themetatron • / metatron_youtube • https://www.facebook.com/Metatron-153... • / puremetatron • / realmetatron • Royalty free music by Epidemic Sound: • intro ES_Knights Templar 1 - Johannes Bornlöf • intro 2 ES_Medieval Adventure 01 - Johannes Bornlöf • outro ES_Knights Templar 2 - Johannes Bornlöf • • Check out the facebook page of the photographer who works with me, he has lots of fantastic pictures • https://www.facebook.com/amedeo.capor... • and his instagram • https://www.facebook.com/amedeo.capor... • • Check out my friend Salvo's channel • / @littlesalvo000
