Best Answer

Knights on horseback were like a tank to the middle ages. They had horses that were trained to carry a man in armour and to be controlled with the knees. They would form a line knee to knee and with the full armour they were very powerful.

What did 1900s armor look like?

The full body type armor for knights fell out of general use long before the 1900s, but some European heavy cavalry units continued to use breast and back plates into the early 1900s. If you image-google "WW1 body armor", you'll see some examples. Soldiers and policeman still wear helmets and body armor like bulletproof kevlar vests.


What happened to the knights after the middle Ages?

At the battle of Crecy, arrows from English longbows penetrated the metal of the armor used by knights. (In Eastern Europe full body armor proved ineffective against Mongol recurve bows.) After that the job of knight as a warrior was replaced by that of a cavalryman. Cavalrymen would carry shields but would no longer carry full body armor. In England, the position of knight became an honorary rank.
