13 Spider Bloody Chain
Grandmaster Knight
Hmm...I've been doing some research for a school project on shields, maille, and full plate.
I'm wondering...what exactly was the boss for? All the books I've read only say what they were made of and how they looked rather than how soldiers used them n battle. From other sources I've heard that the boss does everything from giving soldiers a chance to block heavy blows with something metallic and on their shields (thus preventing their shield from getting chopped into pieces) to give a soldier something to punch with.
What was it for? And how do you know this?
