Full arms armour is the advanced protection developed during the Middle Ages to safeguard the entire arm, from shoulder to wrist. As medieval warfare became more intense and weaponry more powerful, full arms armour evolved to protect warriors from cuts, thrusts, and impact while still allowing flexibility and control in combat.

Historical Background

Historically, full arms armour was worn by knights and professional soldiers, especially from the 14th century onward, as part of complete plate armour. It typically consisted of pauldrons for the shoulders, rerebraces for the upper arms, couters for the elbows, and vambraces for the forearms. This layered construction allowed the arm to move naturally while providing continuous protection, making full arms armour essential in both mounted and foot combat.
