Medieval Knight Armor

In the early Middle Ages, there was defense armor against enemies, animals. There were only weapons like stone weapons etc. People have fought over assets or land, since early man began, plants or animals to keep. The first weapons were probably rocks, sticks, and animal bones and were in one of two ways. Some were on a strike or cut. Other weapons have been thrown or shot at the enemy from afar. After some time, the people, particularly weapons from flint and stone, and in about 5000 BC, copper was used. After this came bronze, then iron, steel, and finally, the strongest armor and sharpest blades.

Many others are also, as whalebone, leather and horn. Quick, which began to fight to protect itself by shields. Sometimes wore bulletproof vests. Armor is designed so that the most promising protection against increasingly lethal weapons. The defense is not too heavy or so difficult to bear that a soldier could not move. This constant struggle between attack and defense up to the present day with each producer trying to better facilities than their competitors.

The mail armor for the first time in England during the Battle of Hastings in 1066th. The mail armor was the forerunner of what the great knights of England later wore during battles and joust. In the 12th century knight attacked with the lance hidden under the arm, with the momentum of the galloping horse to drive, the head of steel in the target language. The mail was made up of many small metal rings together, each with a small pin as rivets. Sometimes every other row is made of welded rings.
