Lord Dane:
Hard to believe they had all that articulation skill and noone thought up a backplate until the 15th century. Sad. ???

I guess that would be dictated by how picky you are on the definition of 'backplate.' They had multi-plate or segmented back defense in the 14th century. Every now and then an effigy or manuscript gives us a glimpse of a side hinge on a breastplate. The problem is that until the early 15th century everyone covered up their armor, so we can't see! But a definitive single piece backplate? 1st half of the 15th.
Sir James A:
Thanks Sir Ian!
Now, about that weird lobster-tail articulated thing on the bottom of the helmet or upper back of that guy... never noticed it before, and never seen that kind of thing on the upper back. It's like the triangular fauld teleported...
