Chains – Chain armour – The European style of chain armour was probably invented by the Celts in the 5th century B.C. Each part of the body was protected by a separate piece of armour. Chain armour was combined with plates from the 14th century. In the 16th century, parts of the chain armour were used only as accessory to the plate armour. Chain armour was finally superseded in whole by plate armour; however, in areas with warmer climate it remained to be used until the 18th century (plate armour is not that permeable).
