Weapons and armor

Knights who depended on their armor in battle had the best armor of all the knights. early armor was made of chain mail, which was often covered with meatal plaits. later on, armor became very heavy weighing hundreds of pounds. amazingly a helmet could weigh fifty pounds. And a sword could weigh twenty-five to thirty-five pounds. A sword could be longer than the knight’s arm and weighed as much as a bike! The armor was so heavy that it took two strong men to put it on them. A knight’s horse which was covered in armor, because if the horse was struck and fell caboom. the knight would fall and could not fight. the horse cost as much as a small airplane. For a long    fbtime, knights were given land which they would sell to buy armor. Armor was expensive, hot and heavy.
