Definition
Plural of byrnie; multiple sleeveless mail tunics or pieces of protective armor.
Etymology
The plural form of 'byrnie,' following standard English pluralization. Medieval armies might have hundreds of byrnies in their armories.
Kelly Says
Armies equipped with byrnies were expensive to maintain—each byrnie required a skilled blacksmith and significant metal resources, which is why only wealthy kingdoms and nobles could field fully armored warriors.
