Knees armor represents the specialized protection developed to safeguard one of the most vulnerable joints in medieval combat. As warriors moved, knelt, and advanced in battle, the knees were frequently exposed to cuts and impact. Knee armor became an essential component of leg protection, allowing mobility while defending against serious injury.
Historical Background
Historically, knees armor, often referred to as poleyns, emerged as plate armour advanced during the High and Late Middle Ages. Worn by knights and soldiers, poleyns protected the knee joint while allowing bending and movement. They were commonly paired with cuisses for thigh protection and greaves for the lower leg, forming a complete leg armour system suitable for mounted and foot combat.
