Default Re: Ring mail hauberk vs. scale mail cuirass?
Im using a (bad) dictionary here, and I have these results:
A Hauberk is supposed to be a scale mail armor with no arm protection, so I have difficulty seeing how one can be made out of rings...
A cuirass is supposed to be a breastplate armor, which CAN be made from scales.
Can someone enlighten me as to the exact meaning of a ring mail hauberk and a scale mail cuirass?
