Medieval knight on horseback,artwork. The knight is wearing a suit of plate armour over chain-mail,and is carrying a lance in one hand,and a flanged mace with a spike on the end in the other hand. Both weapons were designed to penetrate the plate armour being worn by opposing knights. The saddle has a high pommel (front) and cantle (rear),keeping the knight in place. The helmet has a pointed,hinged and moveable visor. Full plate armour was in use from around 1420,declining by the 17th century with the advent of firearms capable of penetrating armour | |
