Suits of Armor:

In the early 14th century, an improved crossbow was developed that could easily penetrate chainmail. Because of this, armor with deflecting surfaces became necessary. By the middle of the 14th century suits of full plate armor began to be utilized and what most people envision as the knight in shining armor was born. These full suits of armor were not only used in warfare, but were also symbols of wealth that were displayed during tournaments and celebrations. We offer both decorative and fully wearable suits of armor. To view the suits of armor that are available, click on the photos below:
