A History of Lamellar and Scale Armour in the West

[M. Val. Naso]

Dan:

I did not mean only byzantines for the east. There are the rus, slavs, and nomadic settlers, also later russians. The bohurt-fighters especially like lamellar armour, when they fight in the aforementioned people's equipment.

Also, Anna Comnena implies nothing. She simply writes frankish mail was a great thing. Seeing a devaluation of byzantine lamellar is the same extremity, which you accuse Mr. Dawson of.
