Brigandine
A brigandine is a form of body armour from the Middle Ages. It is a cloth garment, generally canvas or leather, lined with small oblong steel plates riveted to the fabric.
==Origins==
Protective clothing and armour have been used by armies from earliest recorded history; the King James Version of the Bible (46:4 ) translates the Hebrew סריון〔Compendious Hebrew-English Dictionary Avinoam and Segal, The Dvir Publishing Co., Tel-Aviv〕 ''ÇiRYON'' or שריון ''SiRYoN'' "coat of mail"〔''Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible'', James Strong〕 as "brigandine". Medieval brigandines were essentially a refinement of the earlier coat of plates, which developed in the late 12th century, typically of simpler construction made of larger plates. The Asian-originated armour reached Europe after the Mongol invasion in 1240 that destroyed the Kievan Rus' and generated extensive damage to the Kingdom of Hungary in 1241. The new armour became very popular first in Eastern Europe, especially in Hungary, towards the end of the 13th century and after having proved effective was adopted by the medieval states from West Europe several decades later.〔Kriskó Gyula. Az Árpád-kor háborúi. Bp. Zrínyi Katonai Kiadó 1986〕
Later Brigandines first appeared towards the end of the 14th century, but survived beyond this transitional period between mail and plate, and came into wide use in the 15th century, remaining in use well into the 16th. 15th century brigandines are generally front-opening garments with the nails arranged in triangular groups of three, while 16th century brigandines generally have smaller plates with the rivets arranged in rows.
The brigandine has been confused with the haubergeon, while the name is often confused with the brigantine, a swift small sea vessel.〔(''Cyclopædia, or, An universal dictionary of arts and sciences'', Ephraim Chambers, 2 volumes, with the 1753 supplement, 2 volumes; digitized by the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center.
