I think this is one of the points where we can just say "It made sense to them!" Hand and forearm protection seems to have been one of the last things added to an ancient or medieval warrior's armour. Gauntlets are expensive and somewhat cumbersome, but forearm protectors less so.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
