Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
Quote:
Quote: A steel cuirass over a mail haubergeon was a common combination in 14th-15th C Europe.
Irrelevant for the time period being discussed.
How is it irrelevant? You said
the wonderful flexibility of the maille would be completely negated by the inflexibility of the solid cuirass strapped down over it.
If this were true then we would never see this combination used historically. Which is why I countered with the Medieval example.
