Were the shoulder lames typically that spread out? Lots of good stabbing room under there!
That was a weakness, which is part of the reason why manica were sometimes used. On the whole, though, it seems to have been regarded as an acceptable tradeoff for mobility.
Interesting! Partially-attached arm-armor.
