chainmail+leather armor or chainmail+steel armor, which is a better combination?
On the field of battle, which would have been more efficient, chainmail + leather cuirass, or chainmail + steel cuirass?
Chain-mail and steel all day long. Not as manoeuvrable, but didn't need to be. They were the tanks of the medieval world and with training, a knight would take out anything that was not just as heavily armed as them or that was not running away. They could withstand most aerial missiles such as arrows, slings and even some crossbow bolts.
Firearms and gunpowder saw to the eventual decline and disappearance of these kind of knights in armour (Fully armoured battle knights on horseback), who were around for about 400 years. (1000 - 1400 ad).
