Worn by flamboyant knights who only roam and act self-righteous, not true warriors who need to run around a battlefield.

Oh, I say, Sire!! When so clad, I doth ride a nag. Only the common foot soldier doth roam afoot.

Plate armor was the "bling" of the middle ages and early renaissance. FACT

"Bling" was the sound the arrows made as they ricochet off my breastplate, Sir. "Claaank" was the sound of a breaking lance or slicing sword.

The term "crunk" actually originated from the sound the plate armor joints made while the wearer danced.

I don't dance Sir, I have little time for frivolity. Battle is a serious business. I leave such things to my squire, once he has attended to my needs and that of my nag.

@previous (B)It is also from the construction of plate armor helmets that we get the term "grill" referring to the mouth area, because of the grill-shaped guards protecting it.

By God, Sir, you sound like a technical genius - Were it not for the passage of tyme I would have you construct me a new suit. I fear however, that the increasing use of powder and ball means that I must relegate myself, so attired, to the Jousting field.

By gad, Sir, what odd vestment be that. Doth look like a damsel wearing a chastity belt. I would suggest she attire herself before she gains a cold to the chest. Why, 'tis enough to frighten the nags, doncha know.
