in 7os. Swords r things that are made out of metal. There are lots of kinds of metal such as gold,silver,iron,etc.Mostly iron is used to make swords.In olden days people used to battle with swords when they have wars. In museams u will still see swords which people have preserved to respect their king.
There is no definitive date for this happening. In Europe the standing armies started using guns almost exclusively in the 1600's but, cavalry still used swords well into 1800's to cut down the slow refiring troops in the standing armies. The Zulu of Africa where still using spears and shields in the 1800's while the British they fought against where using pistils, rifles and artillery to blow there heads off. Even in Japan the samurai were using swords, shields and armor in the mid 1800's to fight with. There are also still places in remote area's of Brazil that use bow an arrow, darts and spears.
The use of swords, shields and armor has never really stopped since their beginnings. Even in the 21st century there are primitive living tribes that still use swords and shields. Also, across the world the average size of a military bayonet is around 24 inches overall length, about the same size as a Roman short sword used centuries ago. Shields are still widely used today by local law enforcement, prison guards, the military ect.; the only thing to really change in the entire history of shields is the materials they are made with. The basic concept/design has remained the same. The same is also true for the entire history of armor, from ancient heavy leather type armor to the hi-tech body armor now worn in the 21st century, the concept of armor has not changed only the materials used to make it; even the chain mail armor of the middle ages is still used today for protecting divers from shark attacks, and protecting the hands of butchers and slaughterhouse workers from cutting themselves.
So basically swords, armor and shields are still very much in use today.
Always, but they were generally the mark of a knight.
This is a good example of how important history and evolution is. The Middle Ages did not happen in isolation, but evolvedfrom the Ancient period. If you carefully study ancient history you quickly see the origins of much of the medieval lifestyle, including the ancient evolution of weapons such as swords and many different types of body armour.
Medieval farming evolved directly from Roman, Celtic and Germanic farming; medieval medicine evolved from Late Roman and Greek medicine; medieval armour was a natural progression from Byzantine and Carolingian armour and there is a direct connection between medieval swords and those used by the Late Roman army and the cavalry spatha of the classical Roman cavalry.
In exactly the same way, much of modern life has evolved directly from medieval society.
The main weapon used by the Persians in 490 BC was the bow and arrow. Arrows were accurate weapons, however, they could not penetrate heavy armor or battle shields. They could, however, inflict bad wounds on unprotected parts of a soldiers body.
ANSWERThe Vikings used Swords, Axes, Spears, Bows and the armor is chain mail (mail) and wooden shields.

Only the rich could afford armor or weapons made out of metal.And no, they did not have horns on their helmets.

Irish medieval warriors were probably very dirty. They had swords and shields, some of the in very bad condition. They often had their faces painted and lacked armor.

Although it was not necessary for him to wear armor, (he was virtually invincible) he may have worn it anyway to distract enemies from his true weakpoint- nobody is going to aim for the heel when they think they can kill at the heart. Perhaps he did not know of his own invincibility, and he simply wore it because he thought he could be wounded by the swords and spears of his adversaries. Another fact to be looked at is that armor, swords and shields were a way of identifying yourself and earning respect. Your armor told others how rich you were, who you were, and which family you came from.
