jazeraint

jazeraint
1. noun
Body armor made of small overlapping plates; brigandine.
Of the style of armor that is composed of small overlapping plates.

Some authorities profess to discover jazeraint work in this representation, which was a method of defence much used in later centuries for archers jacques and various other garments, but we have no right to assume that the Normans at that period carried such a heavy weight of armor as this would necessitate, or were acquainted with such a technical and complicated manufacture as jazeraint work.
