Plate armour wasn't common in the real world chain mail was the armour of the middle ages. Yes late middle ages. Plate armour is expensive to make as well, making it a poor choice for a nation to equip its soldiers with. Also it takes a great deal of time and skill to make. The only people that would wear plate would be the king and high ranking lords, maybe even the king's household guard if he was perticually rich.
