A medieval knight wore armour to protect them in battle so they didn't get hurt, though chain mail can be pierced so the came up with armour plating to protect the knight further. Thought with all these men in the same looking armour it was hard to tell friend from foe so the began to engrave the armour with the knights specific heraldry shield so it was easier in battle to tell who to save and who to kill.
