Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Being softer, and having a lower melting point, it is easier to work and shape than iron. Unfortunately, bronze weapons and armour are largely ineffective against iron equivalents.
In the medieval period, bronze was used more for tools, utensils and decorative items, rather than weapons or armour.
