Context: The brigandine was a light, vestlike body defense that was popular with both knights and infantry from the 1400s through about 1550. It is constructed of multiple small plates attached to a cloth covering. Finer examples, like this one, are faced in velvet or even fabric made of gold thread. The brigandine gave some protection from the elements, was relatively light, and extremely flexible.
