Chainmail (Anarchy Period)
The hard times of war during Constantine’s rules forced many inventions in armor. The most important were made in chainmail and gambesons. The average knight wore long sturdy linen clothes, covered with a heavy padded linen gambesson. On his legs he wore padded hoses. Over the padding he wore a heavy chainmail that can be strapped to protect the face. On top of this, he wore an open helmet.
The entire thing required a squire to put on and was quite heavy. The armor required a lot of maintenance, but somewhat less than during the Uther period. It was something that was done daily by the knight’s squire.
