cuirass

This article is devoted to the type of armour known as a cuirass. For details of cavalry wearing cuirasses go to cuirassier. For information about cuirass ventilation, see the article about the iron lung Cuirass (French cuirasse, Latin coriaceus, made of leather, from corium, the original breastplate being of leather), the plate armour, is formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armour, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armour, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armour appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. The corslet (Fr. corselet, diminutive of the Fr. corps, body), a comparatively light cuirass, is more strictly a breastplate only. Elizabeth I of England often wore a cuirass.
