Shield which had a wooden substructure with a Reed -, fur - and leather upholstery in the development first, before it was then made of metal was one of the first parts of the protection undoubtedly.
For the body, we know from the time of about 1500 years before Christ already the scale armour, consisting of small metal plates which were tied together. The first helmets were leather, in the subsequent period of bronze and later iron.
The chainmail (the breastplate) is known in approaches already from the ancient times and evolved over the Celtic and Germanic - Viking age as a particularly esteemed body protection, which often held a sword blow.
The chain mail has the advantage that it adapts to the body compared to a normal chest armor. To sit comfortably on the horse, the Hauberk had side vents. Up to 20000 rings have been processed for a chainmail. It is judged that only wealthy fighter could afford such body protection. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the sleeves were longer and included gloves. The chains shirts could provide no sufficient protection against crossbow bullets and beatings with lances. The chains shirts had no chance against the upcoming firearms.
