Definition
A type of medieval armor made of mail or chain-mail, worn by soldiers and knights to protect the body from weapons.
Etymology
From Old French 'bruigne' or 'broigne', possibly derived from Germanic roots related to 'brown' or a linking to 'brünne'. This was a common form of armor from the 9th through 14th centuries.
Kelly Says
A broigne could weigh 25-30 pounds and required incredible strength to wear all day—warriors basically had jobs that were like wearing a heavy weighted vest constantly.
