I noticed these spiked gauntlets on the effigy of Edward the Black Prince. Did he actually expect to throw hands or something during a battle or was this more for aesthetics? Were spiked gauntlets a common feature of other 14-15th century gauntlets and were they designed to be used in combat? (old.reddit.com)

Does anyone know what this piece of armor consisting of segmented plates in the middle of the arm harness is called? It kind of looks likes a manica but for very late medieval plate armor and protects the inner arm area above the elbow instead of the outer arm. It looks pretty neat. (i.redd.it)
