Protective Knight Armor
A medieval breastplate covers the chest and torso to shield a defender from incoming blows. Rounded shoulder guards provide extra protection for the upper arms while allowing flexibility during movement.
Armor History and Design
Steel chest pieces were custom fitted to individual wearers by skilled armorers using heat and hammers. The curved shape was specially angled so that enemy spears and arrows would glance off the front rather than penetrate the metal.
Colors of a Medieval Breastplate
