Hey Mortal Knight...Armour Question...

[Jim Burnes]

A question came up in a discussion today: Regards chain mail such as Joan Of Arc wore, how much would it have weighed out in total?

And, was it just untreated iron links?

I'm not an expert on chain-mail, but i do recall reading that a hood weigh about 8lbs and the shirt would be about 30lbs,depending on the size of the person. She most likely ahd a sheet arour or steel armor chest piece and a mail hood total would be about 40lbs thats with the under padding.
