A '''breastplate''' is a [[plate]] [[metal]] defence for the chest. It could be paired with a [[back plate]] from about 1370 onwards. This is sometimes termed ''back and breast''.

Breastplates covering the upper chest with shoulder [[plate]]s appear in literary sources in approximately 1340. However, no actual images exist before 1370 so how these early breastplates appeared is not known.

By the middle of the [[14th century]] the breastplate had extended to mid torso with [[metal]] [[waist hoop]]s (1360) that soon after developed into the [[fauld]] (1370's).

At around 1460 [[breastplate]]s became separated into two parts to include a [[plakart]] which reinforced the bottom of the breastplate and allowed a greater degree of movement around the waist. By the end of the century a single piece breastplate reappeared.

The breastplate remained in use until the middle of the [[17th century]] where it competed with the [[buff coat]] and was eventually abandoned by [[soldiers]] in the latter part of the [[17th century]].
