Greave

A greave (from the Old French ''grève'' "shin, shin armour" from the Arabic jaurab, meaning stocking〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Greave definition )〕) is a piece of armour that protects the leg.
==Description==

The primary purpose of greaves is to protect the tibia from attack. The tibia is a bone very close to the skin, and is therefore extremely vulnerable to just about any kind of attack. Furthermore, a successful attack on the shin results in that leg being rendered useless, greatly hampering one's ability to maneuver in any way. Greaves were used to counteract this. Greaves usually consisted of a metal exterior with an inner padding of felt. The felt padding was particularly important because, without it, any blow would transfer directly from the metal plating to the shin, rendering the piece of armour almost useless.
