Armour and Weapons

Knights have been around a long time and they went with the years and changed as much as they could. we have knights around today like people in the army I know some people think of them a knight I know I do. The middle ages were a really hard time and there was lots of fights and death they were not really clean people. The middle ages had some pretty awesome weapons and armor. There were so many weapons to choose from like axes sword maces and spears. The armor was the same you had so many different types if armor and chain-mail. In this blog I am going to talk about that stuff and try to figure out as much as i can learn and tell you about each piece of armour and weapons and how they had to train to get the strength to walk around in there armour all day and have the all that pee and poop in the suit while they were wearing it. the thing i am going to talk bout before sword are stuff like battle axes and pole axes they were both axes it was just one had a really long pole and on the end of it had a had the blade of the axe and the battle-axe had a small handle and it was used for more close range fighting and stuff like that. There was lots of swords and I am going to talk about some of the different swords had back then and tell you what the main point of the weapon was for. The first one I am going to talk about is the slashing sword. they were made to slash at  people as the name tells both sides were sharp and the blade was very wide and very flat.this blade could cut off arms and some times legs if you had a good swing. The next sword I am going to talk about is the long sword it was very long and it became popular around the year 1350. it had a really sharp and they had to be held with two hands because they were too heavy to swing with one hand and using two hands had the swing have way more force. the next sword will be the thrusting sword and there were used after 1350. It had a sharp narrow blade. thrusting swords were used to hit the weak spots in a knights armour suck as the joint plates in the elbows and the knees.they were way different from slashing sword because the knight had to aim it and very carefully by the year 1400 every night had a slashing sword and a thrusting sword. They had bows cross bows they had maces and daggers and a whole lot of stuff like that but i am only doing swords and armour. Here is the order you put armour on  in 1.you put the left legion 2.the right leg is on next 3.the back plate is the third thing you put on 4.the breastplate is the fourth thing to go on 5.the next things are the arms and the elbow joints 6.next is the gloves and you need help to take them of and to put them back on cause you can’t move your arms to well 7.the next part is to keep you neck safe from all the swords and other stuff like that and it is called a bevor 8.the next thing is the spurs that go on your boot you have to put them on later not as soon as you put the legs on 9.nine is the helmet i think that it is one of the most important pieces of armour out there and if you didn’t wear it you would probably get you head cut in half 10. ten is the weapons you put on it and you can not for get them or your dead just about as much as if you for get your helmet. At the same time in japan there was an other type of knight called a Samurai they were trained just as good as the knight i am talking about but their armour was a hole lot lighter than the knights armour.
