Definition
A long coat of chainmail worn as protective armor, typically reaching to the knees and covering the arms.
Etymology
From Old French 'hauberc,' from Frankish 'halsberg' (neck protection), combining 'hals' (neck) and 'berg' (to protect).
Kelly Says
A hauberk weighed 25-55 pounds and took months to make by hand-linking thousands of iron rings—medieval soldiers needed serious upper body strength just to wear it!
