What are the dimensions of a typical medieval chariot?

Chariots did not exist in medieval times. They were a feature of certain cultures in ancient times, but were not used anywhere in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans had used chariots only for racing and in occasional triumphal processions in Rome; the archaic Greeks had used chariots in warfare, but they became replaced by horsed cavalry in classical times; the ancient Persians continued to use chariots in battle for many hundreds of years. The ancient Egyptians learned the art of building and using chariots from the Hyksos who invaded Egypt; chariots were also used by the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites and Assyrians. In Britain, the Romans were surprised to find the native ancient Britons using light war chariots when they arrived (twice) to conquer the islands, since Celts in other parts of Europe had long since changed over to horse cavalry. By medieval times, battles were fought between armies composed entirely of men on foot (infantry) and mounted armoured knights and serjants (cavalry) - absolutely no chariots.


Did Greeks invent the chariot?

No. They had been around for a couple of thousand years in the Middle East before Rome became more than a village.Although the Latins are recorded early on as using chariots (see Aeneid), the Romans adopted mainly infantry tactics, and quickly learned to neutralise chariots, so they quickly disappeared from the Italian battlefield. The Hellenistic kingdoms in the east persiated with chariots for an extra century or so but learnt that they were a liability against the Roman countermeasures.
