Mercenary Breastplate | Authentic Medieval Chest plate Armor

Medieval breast plates, the front portion of plate armor protecting the torso, evolved significantly throughout the medieval period. Early examples in the 14th century solid, single piece breastplates emerged often made of wrought iron or steel offering better protection. These evolved into more complex designs eventually encompassing a full suit of plate armor by the late 14th and early 15th centuries. One piece mercenary breast plates often of wrought iron or steel emerged initially covering the upper torso and later extending down to the hips.

The Fauld a skirt of plate armor was developed to protect the lower torso and full plate armor including a breastplate backplate and other body parts became common. Leather, bronze and iron were used in antiquity. Wrought iron was used in the 14th century later followed by steel which was stronger and more durable. Breastplates were initially made of multiple plates, later evolving to solid one piece designs.
