Or maybe it made it easier to arm wrestle.A gauntlet, btw, is a glove with a long, durable cuff to protect the wrist and part of the forearm, usually leather. Maybe in days of yore & legend they were at least part chain mail. I guess a knight maybe got pissed about something, pulled off his gauntlet, & threw it down at his enemy's feet in lieu of slapping him in the face.![]()
