Possible answers about late medieval mail armour’s quality: The emphasis of this research was to recover more details about European late medieval mail armours. Although these objects were widely used in this era, mail garments were overshadowed by the more elaborate plate armours. The importance of this type of protective gear is evindent: mail armours were used from the time of the antiquity to the early modern period. From the late middle ages – especially in North Italy – signs of the pre-industrial mass production are visible. However the topic was researched from the 19th century, several major questions remained: what type of metals were used by the medieval mail makers? How strong was this specific sort of armour? What was the function of solid rings? Was any difference in strength between wedge riveted- and round head riveted rings? At last how resistant were the double riveted rings? It is clear, that only history, with it’s traditional methods cannot reach all this interests. Therefore it is necessary to combine the knowledge of history with the instruments of both materials science and experimental archeology. With this complex perspective it is possible to find answers for the questions as described above. This study also provides an appendix, which contains the dimensions of the reconstructed mail rings, and the short form of data that were specified during the experiment. It was crucial to create carefully reconstructed rings with authentic methods and tools (from low carbon drawn iron wire), because it was not possible the gather original samples from museums in large qantities, with identical dimensions. Compareing different sized rings would led to invalid results. With contemporary written sources from the late medieval era it was possible to verify the assumptions of former metallographic studies that both iron and steel mail armours were produced. In this texts the (presumably) case hardened (carburised) steel mail garments are rarer and considerably more expensive. The results of tensile tests allowed to compare the abilities of different ring types. The wedge riveted and the round (wire) riveted rings had similar issues (approx. 383– 841N). The double riveted rings seemed more resistant (average 723,9N). At last solid rings proved to be 2–4 times stronger, than the riveted ones. Thus these informations suggests that the rare double riveted mail armours represented higher quality (but their production were time-consuming, and demanded special tools). Finally it is conceivable that solid rings were not invented to make the production faster, but to significantly increase the protecting quality of the mail armour.
