The 14th century obviously {I don’t own any other time period – YET!}
I have become fond of the 14th century just recently, (as I was previously ignorant of the time
periods for the armor types
) mainly because it was when the transitional period was in full swing.
When the development of arms and armor was becoming faster paced as people experimented with
improved ways of killing each other and consequently of protecting themselves.
I can imagine just how daunting it must have been prior to engaging in battle during that time period
and perhaps wondering if some new weaponry would be used that would nullify or diminish the
effectiveness of your armor.
