=Medieval Knights =

Knights were one of three types of fighting men during the Middle Ages. The others were foot soldiers and archers. A medieval knight was covered in multiple layers of armor and could defeat a number of foot soldiers standing in his way. The knight was the toughest of the three types of fighting men and also the wealthiest. No foot soldier or archer could stand up to one knight and expect to win.

To be a knight in the Middle Ages was a costly thing as one of their war horses alone could cost the same amount as a small airplane and the large amounts of armor, shields and weapons could also add up to a lot.
