What are two things Knights Templar looked for?

Far Away and Not Personal.

      Long ranged weapon  consist of bows and thrown. The two different bows are the bow and crossbow. The bows shoot arrows that you hold in a quiver. Then there is a giant crossbow that shoots javelins. The most used bow was the long bow.

     Then to the thrown items. The javelin is a throwing spear. Knives and small axes are good for throwing. Lastly to the tank of that time. The catapult which is a type of lever that throws big rock. Those are for a long range battles.

Up Close and Personal.

     There are two groups of close range blunt and bladed. First I'll talk about bladed bladed consists of swords which is the big blade. Then there is a dagger, the medium blade. Lastly the knife the small blade that was often used as a tool too. Speaking of knives the spear is a long stick with a knife at the tip or sharp tip. Then, the big bang is the axe which is a stick and at the end there's a half circle that is sharp.

     The blunt weapons consist of hammers, maces, and morning stars. Basically a blunt weapon has a big nod or ball that hits the opponent. The mace and hammer have the nod on a stick. The morning star is a stick with a ball and chain attached. Those as a reminder are the up close and personal weapons.

Follow the Code to Chivalry

     Now I don't think you know what chivalry is. Therefore I'll tell you that chivalry is a knights code of honor. At first I thought wow boring, however chivalry is interesting and is important to knighthood. To obey the code you must be courteous and gentle mannered. The importance it that if you don't live by the code you aren't a knight.

     Here's an example of the code from the time of of Camelot. A none noble (to be a knight you must be a noble) lied to King Uther about being noble. Prince Arthur however said that Lancelot should still be a knight knowing of Lancelot's fighting skills. But Lancelot  disobeying the code giving left Camelot to learn a train for knighthood(Lancelot was eventually a knight though). That shows chivalry.

Knights is a Weird Name for the Knights Templar Because at Night Time it's Dark and They're all About the Light

    When I say these knights are all about the light I mean the holy lights. The holy lights equal the god of the Christians. These knights are crusaders. They fought tooth and nail for Jerusalem against the Islams. Now I said they fought for god that's true, however they do much more they are like his servants on earth.

For instance they protected the pilgrim on their why to the promise lands. Then to prove that they serve god they even looked for the holy grail and the arc of the covenant.

   The knights Templar are my favorite early fighting for a series of reasons. First, they fought for god. Second, they were respected, even by the pope. Third, they were strong and powerful in there day. Lastly I like their outfit. Speaking of outfits theirs is a white background and a red cross in the front. That somes up the knight Templar.

What are the Differnt Types of Equipment and Tools Knights Use.

       When it comes to knights people think their all metal and glory. Yes they have metal armor and weapons and they have lots of glory however there's something else. Pets, yes I said pet. There are four reasons knights have pets, first they make great companions, second they are good weapons, third they are rode on them for speed, and they are good for recon. There are two main pets for knights, horses and hawks. The horse was a good companion, they are also a good weapon at least against light infantry, and I hope you know knights rode on horses. Then there's the hawk they are good for recon and a good companion.

      Now I'll talk about this knights shiny armor. In my opinion there are five basic armor pieces. There's a helmet, gaulets, greaves, breastplate, and chain under all of your plating. Now there are other items so look at the picture.
Another question I had that relates with the topic is in the winter don't they get cold in the cold metal armor. Well it's simple they had normal (for that era) pants, a vest, boots, and gloves. That is the gear a knight uses that fight well and hard.
