The revolutionary changes that took place at the end of the Middle Ages, related to the rapid development of firearms, forced the transformation of military equipment used by "servants of war". The process of "infantry revolution" in Western Europe which is commonly believed to have begun c. 1300 onwards, was related with the emergence of properly trained and organised infantry formations, armed mostly with polearms. 1 The success of professional infantrymen on the battlefield, not guided by the code of honour, led to the gradual abandonment of chivalric ideals. Heavy-armed cavalry which personified this ethic have not yet left the theatre of war, although the military role of mounted knights on the battlefield was continuously diminishing. In the 2 nd half of the 16 th century 2 the arms race between arms and armour makers ended in the defeat of protective armaments and caused a slow departure from the use of full suits of plate armour. 3
