== Parts of Plate Armor ==
[[File:Plate armor.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A standard suit of plate armor. Use the list to the left to reference the parts]]
*Plate helmet (many variants existed, although they're all designed to protect the head)
**Visor (Covered the face. Was usually hinged with the helmet, although some people did not bother with visors)
*Gorget (covers the entire neck)
**Bevor/Falling Buffe (covers front of neck)
*Spaulders (covers the shoulders)
**[[Pauldrons]] (an evolution of the spaulders. Pauldrons are larger than spaulders, not only covering the shoulder, but most of the upper arm as well. They're also reliable as blunt implements to shoulder charge somebody with.)
*Rerebraces (covers the upper arms)
*Couter (covers the elbows)
*Vambraces (covers the forearms)
*Gauntlets (covers the hands)
*Curiass (plate which covers the torso)
*Breastplate (single plate which covers the front of the torso)
*Backplate (covers the back of the torso)
*Tassets (covers the upper legs. They're the plate skirt that covered the cuisse)
*Cuisses (covers the thighs)
*Poleyn (covers the knees)
*Greaves (covers the lower legs)
*Sabatons (boots for walking and covers the feet)
