The 14th Century also saw the greatest evolution in armour and weapons until modern times. At the start of the century full-maille with some simple small pieces of plate armour was the norm. By the end of the century most of the maille had been replaced by well fitted and well crafted plate armour that covered all of the body. Because of the great changes in armour over this period, it is often referred to as the "Age of Transitional Armour".
