Knights protected themselves in battle by wearing armor made of metal plates or chainmail, along with a helmet to shield their head. They also used shields to deflect incoming blows and carried weapons such as swords, lances, and maces for defense and offense. Additionally, knights relied on their skill in combat and training in various fighting techniques to stay safe on the battlefield.
