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.

  1. OH MY HERESY BAR!!!! KNIGHTS HAD PETS!!!! ok im done with my moment of Rylee-ness. Are you serious did they really have pets? if so, wouldnt the hawk, like, peck there eyes out or something? Did knights die because of a bird pecking their eyes out? Im sorry im still in shock(i get ecstatic over little things). but besides the point great format, awesome describtions. Although the transition between topics is a pretty big leap i LOVE this topic!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
