Lance rest
text:
A lance rest is a metal flange or hook 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 the use of full plate armour and heavy lances became obsolete for general use in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The use of a lance rest can be more readily understood by examining the French term arrêt, or "stop" The lance rest was not used to hold the weight of the lance, as the English name
