abstract:A lance rest (also known as an arrêt de cuirasse or, more simply, an arrêt) is a metal flange that is typically attached to the right side of a breastplate, just under the armpit. The lance rest appeared in the late 14th century, remaining in use until plate armor in general became disused.
The rest of the claims against Lance, for the most part a million or two dollars here and there, are background noise relative to this potential monster.
