Chainmail Voiders - Butted
Mail was thought to have been invented by the Celts. The earliest example was found in a Celtic Chieftain's burial in Romania. It was a popular form of defence for the warrior elite of the Viking and Early Medieval periods. It is often (wrongly) referred to as chainmail but this terminology was first introduced by Sir Walter Scott in 1822 in his novel "The Fortunes of Nigel". In the medieval period it was simply known as "Mail".
Mail Voiders (underarm protection) came into wide fashion sometime in the 15th Century but are not completely out of place in the late 14th Century. Voiders are sewn to an undergarment (not supplied) and protect the arms where there are gaps in the plate armour. These mail voiders are constructed of 8mm High Tensile Steel rings combination.
Finish: Natural
Material: 16 gauge High Tensile Steel
Ring Type: Round / Butted
Diameter: 8mm
All sizes are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.
