Mail armour (commonly mislabelled 'chainmail') was used for more
than two millennia on the battlefield. After its invention in the
Iron Age, mail rapidly spread all over Europe and beyond. The Roman
army, keen on new military technology, soon adopted mail armour and
used it successfully for centuries. Its history did not stop there
and mail played a vital role in warfare during the Middle Ages up
to the Early Modern Period. Given its long history, one would think
mail is a well-documented material, but that is not the case. For
the first time, this books lays a solid foundation for the
understanding of mail armour and its context through time. It
applies a long-term multi-dimensional approach to extract a wealth
of as yet untapped information from archaeological, iconographic
and written sources. This is complemented with technical insights
on the mail maker's chaine operatoire.
