Knights
The Knights were the 3rd highest class in the Feudal System,they were trained and looked after from Nobles who owned the land, they paid the Nobles taxes and fought for/protected the King. Knights wore a suit of armor made out of metal and a pattern called chain mail. Chain mail was a covering made out of many, small interlinked metal chains. Knights were also known for using shields, lances, flails, maces, and swords in battle. Their shields were decorated to represent who the Knight was. Lances were long, strong, spear-like weapons designed for use on horseback. The mace was a spiked metal ball that was attached to the end of a wooden stick. Flails were like maces except the metal ball was attached to the wooden stick by a metal chain. Knights also rode horses into battle, this was an advantage over the other army.
