Your armor questions answered...




After I posted my first blog, Mike and Ali both asked questions about the fancy armor for knights, plate armor. Well, here it is,... the knights from medival times had usually cain mail armor. They usually didn't have platting because it was a lot of money. Also, if there was not a blacksmith around, which there usually was, then none of the armor could be made in the first place. Mike, I couldn't find out how much money plate armor coast, but the importance of it was HUGE. Many people had chainmail armor because first of all, it was easier to make and also it was cheaper than plate armor. The best kind of armor avalible was plate armor though. A squire was able to fully dress his asigned knight in plate armor in minutes. This was a hardwoking squire though. So if a squire like that was able to dress his night in that amount of time, he would get appointted night at a higher level of servence.
