A padded gambeson is usually worn under the hauberk. Infantry was similarly equipped with a hauberk, a helmet and leg armour. Gawain uses the broken lance to pierce his hauberk, and he flees. She was wearing a mail hauberk with a sword and a shield. In 1181, the Assize of Arms forbade Jews from owning a hauberk or chain mail. This made penetration of the chain mail hauberk much easier and more common.
