HISTORIC SUITS OF ARMOUR
During the 13th - 15th centuries, Royalty and the Highest Military Class, the Knight wore Medieval Suits of Armour. Made by hammering and heating the Steel, the Knight's Armour and Sword were both powerful and unique works of art. Constructed by Craftsmen of the highest skill suits of armour were only afforded by the wealthy. The Working Class or Soldier for hire usually acquired their Armor on the battlefield from some unfortunate soul who had passed on in battle and who would not require it in the afterlife.
