Ring armour
Ring armour (ring mail) is an assumed type of personal armour constructed as series of metallic rings sewn to a fabric or leather foundation. No actual examples of this type of armour have ever been found on European archaeological findings. It is sometimes called ringmail or ring mail. In the Victorian era the term "mail" was used fancifully for any form of metallic body armour. Modern historians reserve the term "mail" for armour formed of an interlinked mesh of metal rings. The Bayeux Tapestry has been misinterpreted as depicting different types of armour. It is generally acknowledged today that virtually all the armour on the Bayeux Tapestry is standard mail armour and not "ring mail" or "trellised mail" or "mascled mail" or any other Victorian misinterpretation.〔(The Arador Armour Library )〕 ==Theoretical construction== Ring armour was believed to be a leather or textile item of clothing (a jacket, or trousers) with a large number of metal rings sewn or tied directly into the foundation garment. Unlike mail armour, the rings are not physically interlocked with each other.
