What did knights wear when they were in battle? Knights wore a whole body suit that was made of plates of stele. These plates were joined by rivets and straps of leather. Knights also carried shields that contained a strap and leather to place your arm. If knights wore body armor, then the shields weren’t necessary. Not all knights could afford full body protection, because it was too expensive. Which protection would you prefer?
Also, another important piece of the knight’s armor was the helmet. There were tons of helmets in the medieval times. Some helmets covered the whole head, while others just covered the skull. When knights went to the black or silversmith they could have their armor made just for them or just a suit of armor that was made for anyone. Knights had to buy their own suit of armor or defense weapon. depending on the qulity of the body suit, it could be very expensive. also, since knights rode on horses the horses could have armor too. This invention was made in Italy.
