I agreed, historic misconceptions must be punished with execution 😎
That’s what I thought too. I was just trying to politely bring up the topic because when discussing history, we don’t want to spread misconceptions. And, at least in English, the term ‘studded armor’ is often considered part of the issue, and thus generally frowned upon when discussing history.
studded armor as portrayed in fantasy (leather with metal divets) is not real, as it adds no additional protection. but what would be commonly mistaken for studded armor would be a coat of plates, brigandine or other type of hard armor attached to a flexible coat or other cloth via rivets.
Ming dinasty use studded armors (brigandine) for their soldiers, so is highly probable the mongols do it too when they invade China years before
What is your source on studded armor? I’ve been told studded armor is a fantasy/popculture invention and has no historical basis. I’d like to check your sources to verify who’s right.
yup!
that’s because the nations they passed through had mostly scaled and studded armor, chain mail was more common in the Near East and West, it’s likely if the Mongols had been able to take Europe or North Africa they would have had more resources in steel armor and would have a more western style, like the horde of gold, which imitated the Cuman-Kipchak style

This makes me want a Glimmy Khan tag….

thats the trouble with the mongols. they have a long history and no set uniforms or equipment standards. the armor they would use would vary based on their area of operations, on what they would buy, loot, or salvage, so there would be quite a bit of cross contamination of kit with other nations.
so i just based this armor on a generic ‘mongol’ look that is recognizable
I thought so at first, but it doesn’t quite fit. Reminds me more of a Scythian, Yuezhian or Hunish horseman.
Why would Book Horse use Book for anything but learning?
