There is a translation inconsistency in the printed Statutes of the Realm, which makes me think the Norman French armez (chain mail) might have been misread by the editor of Statutes of the Realm as armes (plural of arm or weapon). The difference matters slightly in current cases headed to the Supreme Court.
No idea on that but the Volokh Conspiracy (how I miss your commentary there) has a discussion of a brief filed by J Luttig. You might be interested in a long comment by one Stephen Lathrop.

A long way of saying, our experts have more Ph.D.s in history than yours.
