Beschreibung
Each linked ring carried the work of a hand, the cost of iron, and a wager against violence.
A coat of mail could turn a blade, yet its making demanded thousands of linked decisions in iron, labor, money, and skill. Following mail armor across medieval Europe, this account examines the smiths, suppliers, warriors, and patrons who made protection portable. It traces how ring construction, repair, cost, and changing battlefield demands shaped who could wear mail and what it meant to fight in it. The result is a social and material history of armor beyond the familiar image of the knight.
