Knights

Knights were great warriors clad in full body armor on horseback. Honor was the cornerstone concept for knights of the medieval era. The code of the knights was to: “Protect the weak, defenseless, helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all.” They were the richest, most trained warriors, and had the armor, weapons, and horses to get the job done. They fought in massive suits of armor, usually weighing 40-60 pounds, although some plate armor is estimated to have weighed more than 100 pounds! An armored knight on armored horse would have been like a tank on the battlefield. They were among the toughest soldiers in history to kill because of their armor. They were the perfect example of a warriors and gentleman.
