It was important to medieval knights as it offered a balance of mobility and defense, allowing them to move freely while still protecting vital areas of the body during combat. The use of chain mail helped knights withstand various weapons, enhancing their survivability on the battlefield. Additionally, it became a symbol of their status and martial prowess.
