In Medival times, Knights didn't have tanks or 50 cal. machine guns, they had chain mail and iron platted suits. But this was all fair because nobody had more or less than this in battle. But the armor wasn't cheap made, it was very expensive and well made. For example, the inside of the armor,(plated), was leather padding with homemade rivots to connect it to the metal platting. Also, at age 14, a page was apprenticed to a squire, or young king. Along with the armor, the helmets were usually made of iron to protect the warriors.
