	Plate armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plate armour protecting the chest and the lower limbs was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, but it fell into disuse after the collapse of the Roman Empire.
		Full plate armour was very expensive to produce and remained therefore restricted to the upper strata of society, and lavishly decorated suits of armour remained the fashion with 17th century nobles and generals, long after they had ceased to be militarily useful due to the introduction of firearms in the battlefield.
		Plate armour could have consisted of a helmet, a gorget, pauldrons (or spaulders), couters, vambraces, gauntlets, a cuirass (back and breastplate) with a fauld, tassets and a culet, a chainmail skirt, cuisses, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons.

	Plate Mail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Plate mail was very expensive, thus only knights and nobles could afford it (whether they were stout enough to wear it is another issue entirely).
		Plate armor for dismounted combat differed from that for mounted combat, and jousting armor was a completely separate type of armor.
		Plate armor was the basis for the extensive development of such weapons as the flanged mace, war hammer, military pick, and the Lucerne hammer.

	plate mail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Plate had become the standard form of armor by the late 15th century, replacing chain mail.
		Plate was just that, a sheet of metal (about as thick as that used to make cars in the 1950s) and formed into a breat plate (front and back) a flexible metal "skirt" as well as articulated coverings for the arms and legs.
		Plate armor was made to order, thus it was very expensive, costing from 10,000 to 50,000 ducats depending on how complete and fancy the suit was.

		Banded mail in contemporary illustrations, especially from the 12th and 13th centuries, may represent alternating rows of riveted rings and rings made by punching complete closed circles of metal from a thin sheet of iron, adding strength, since there is no weak point on unriveted rings.
		Plates from this type of garment were excavated at the Castle of Montfort in the Holy Land, and must date to before 1271, when the castle fell to the Saracens (Edge and Paddock 57).
		Mail chausses continue to be shown commonly until 1350 and occasionally, in Spain and Germany, to the end of the century.

	Armour Guide
		The softest of the true plate mail armours, bronze plate mail is made of heavy metal plates attached to a layer of composite layers of metal scales and leather or padded armour.
		In general, since bronze plate mail is designed to be lighter and more flexible than normal plate mail, bronze plate armourers use leather and padding under the bronze plates instead of the heavier chain mail.
		Plate mail is a sign of nobility to the general population.

	A Small History of Mail (Chainmail)
		Mail is flexible and composed of many individual bits, whether it be the lorica segmentata or the lorica hamata of the Romans; the term 'plate mail' is absurd, and 'chainmail' almost as bad..
		Mail's primary disadvantages are: it is heavy for its protectiveness, all the weight is concentrated on a very few points of the wearer, it has a VERY high surface area and rusts quickly, and it is not as protective against crushing blows as plate armor.
		Riveted mail had the ends of rings overlap; they were hammered flat, a hole was punched through, and a triangular rivet was forced through the hole and hammered down on the point end.

		Blade mail combines the technology of spiked leather armor (used in great amounts by the brigands of Egainess's woods) and the plate mail favored by the knights of the region.
		Drow chain mail must be exposed to the sinister radiation of a drow city for at least an hour a week or it crumbles to dust.
		Dwarven chain mail differs from human chain mail in three key ways: the suits are smaller (save when cloud dwarves forge them), the links are thicker and forged of mithril, adamantium and other rare metals, and the suits are far heavier and only suited to regular use by dwarves.

	The Development of Medieval Full Plate Armor in Europe
		A chain mail shirt was called a hauberk or byrnie, while mail leggings for the lower legs and feet were called the chausses.
		Plate armor was a much more complicated type of armor because it was not as flexible as chain mail.
		Plate gauntlets, unlike the chain mail ones, were very complex works of metalworking that covered the hands with iron plates while allowing free movement of the fingers.

	The Arador Armour Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The use of the word “mail” in this instance was not meant to be specifically referring to “true” (4-in-1) mail, but as a general term to describe armour — in this case, bronze scale armour.
		Because of this overly-generic use of the term “mail,” a word was needed to differentiate true mail from other types of body armour — hence the term “chain mail.” If the word “mail” is used in its correct context then “chain mail” is superfluous and does not need to be used at all.
		One of the types of armour interpreted from contemporary illustrations was given the term "ring mail." Meyrick's definition of ring mail consisted of a foundation garment upon which non-interlocking metal rings were attached.

		Mail is strong against piercing blows only to a certain point, if a spear or arrow is travelling with enough velocity it will go right through most mail.

	myArmoury.com - Mail vs Plate
		Plate, on the other hand, is not only impervious to cuts and penetration (except possibly by heavy blows from spiked warhammers or similar nasties), but causes blows to skip off the surface of the steel.
		Mail is easier to store and easier to polish in case of rust (just put it in a bucket and shake the bucket for half an hour and you're done).
		Plate is more restrictive, and impossible to put on by yourself, but the initial question was about a knight clad in mail versus a knight clad in plate.

	Official ICE Forums - Mail, Ring & chain mail
		Scale mail is little plates of metal with a hole on one end, sewn or rivited via that hole to leather armor.
		Lamellar mail is an AT19 but with less penalties to missile and Qu, but then we should put a balance factor, if it defend as AT19 but have no penalty, then is unbalanced compared with original AT19, it would be better armor and all fighters would have one.
		A note tough: I preferred to keep scale mail as a chain mail type (at 13/16), for balance's sake, and because it would never weigh as a plate mail (and it's a flexible armor), so it would be overpowered to have an AT 14 protecting as an AT 18.

	Chain Mail Armour
		Chain mail is less versatile and heavier than leather, but offers protection only exceeded by the various forms of plate mail - however, unlike plate mail chain still gives the fighter a good deal of freedom and flexibility to wield a weapon without the armour inteferring too much in combat activities.
		Description: Chain Mail can be in worn several different ways, but the most common (and the most complete) chain suit includes a chain shirt, coif, leather or chain gloves and boots all worn over light leather or cloth.
		Of course there are special arrows made to pierce chain mail, but hey archers would carry one or maybe 2 types of arrows, and i really think that, the arrows for platemail would be on their list before arrows for chain mail.

		I have the impression from artwork, previous forum exchanges, and several articles that both mail and plate were utilized to varying degrees from 12th through 14th century.
		I have wondered if continued use of mail at the same time plate was available, was not more of an economic case of people continuing to utilize an existing expensive item rather than buying the newest "best" alternative.
		Butted mail must be heavier than historic riveted mail due to the need for the rings to have enough thickness and strength to hold themselves closed.

		In later years (around 1180) the hauberk was extended to include a hood or coif, and the sleeves were lengthened, sometimes to include mail mittens on the hands.
		From the early 1200's to the late 1300's, there was a slow transition to plate armour.
		This combination is admirable when looked upon, however, with a full plate harness on, it can become more difficult to move easily and consequently to control your mount.
