Stop Using Modern Butted Chainmail for Historical Maille Testing!

Thrand shows the 6 year campaign against popular television programs testing modern reenactment butted chain mail or butted maille claiming it was Historical. Facts are Historical European Maille was riveted shut and solid every other row even back into the early Celtic beginnings through out the Roman era and through out all of European history. There are no accounts they used butted links or rings in ancient or medieval Europe. So popular history programs should learn ans stop using it for historical testing of the armors protective properties them self. They should also realize multiple layers of tight woven cloth like a ballistic vest were worn under it between 10 top 30 layers for padding and added protection as well. The Royal armory stated that proper riveted and solid row maille backed with gambeson would stop any weapon of its time and seemed impenetrable from their testing. So sit back grab ale or mead and enjoy this classic testing of Thrand and Eldgrim to prove if there statement is true or not and why they should stop using butted maille with light or no gambeson in historical programs for testing!
