Breast plates in our collection represent one of the most important developments in medieval body protection, designed to shield the chest and vital organs during combat. Emerging prominently in the late Middle Ages, breast plates became a key component of plate armour as warfare evolved and demanded stronger defense against swords, polearms, and projectiles.

Historical Background

Historically, breast plates replaced earlier mail-based protection by offering a solid, shaped surface that could deflect blows rather than absorb them. Worn by knights and professional soldiers, breast plates were often combined with back plates, gorgets, and pauldrons to form a complete torso defence. Their curved design helped distribute impact force, improving survivability on the battlefield.
