Medieval Knights Armor and Weapons

A knight was equipped and armored to the teeth. He possessed so much armor and weapons
that he relied on his squire to keep his armor and weapons clean and in excellent working
condition. To begin with the armor was created of small metal rings called chain mail.

A knight wore a linen shirt and a pair of pants in addition to heavy woolen pads beneath the
metal-ringed tunic. A suit of chain mail might well have more than 200,000 ring

A knight in addition needed a shield to hold in front of himself during battle. Shields were
made from either wood or metal. Knights ornamented their shields with their family
emblem or crest and the family motto. A knight’’s weapon was his sword, this was about
thirty-two pounds. It was worn on his left side in a case attached round his waistline.
