Plate Armour represents one of the most advanced forms of protection developed during the medieval period. Worn by knights and heavily armed warriors, plate armour was designed to shield vital areas of the body while allowing the mobility needed for combat. Carefully shaped metal plates were combined with leather fittings and straps to create armour that balanced protection, flexibility, and durability. At Lord of Battles, our plate armour is crafted to reflect this historical tradition while meeting the needs of modern reenactors, collectors, and enthusiasts. Our collection includes breastplates, cuirasses, gauntlets, greaves, pauldrons, helmets, and full armour components designed for reenactment, stage use, historical display, and costume assemblies.
Our plate armour is made using high-quality steel with genuine leather fittings, ensuring both strength and durability. The steel plates give reliable protection, while leather straps and components allow secure fastening and adjustable wear. These materials closely reflect the construction techniques used in historical armour. Different steel gauges are used depending on the intended use of the armour. Lighter gauges provide improved mobility and comfort for LARP, and stage performances, while thicker steel options offer increased durability for demanding use and collectors seeking historically inspired armour construction. Our plate armour is available in two main finishes. The polished steel finish offers a bright, classic medieval look. The blackened finish gives a darker, battle-worn look that reflects rugged battlefield equipment while also helping reduce surface glare.
Proper fit is essential when selecting plate armour. Measurements should typically include chest circumference, waist size, shoulder width, arm length, and height to ensure the armour sits correctly on the body. Accurate measurements help maintain comfort, mobility, and correct historical appearance.
