It just doesnt make sense, loss of armoury skills when a few centuries later man is wearing full knight armour, even beforehand, man and horse were being seen in full armour covering of scale. surely and art not lost but developed.
Man is forever improving fighting techniques, better swords, better weaponry, surely as te empire expanded east, we see a return to maile then back to full armoured knights...
Just seems a cycle of maile through to the crusades back to armour, back to woollen uniforms during WW1 back to armour plating of modern soldiers.
By the way, the theories are great discussion points!
