The Middle Ages (75) : Knight

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

This knight, dressed in a coat of mail and iron armour, was ready for a fight after getting instructions from the King.

For the elite knights of the King, a full-body plate armour was custom-made for each individual and weighed about 27 kg !
