How did knights use armor?
The medieval knight was the equivalent of the modern tank. He was covered in multiple layers of armor, and could plow through foot soldiers standing in his way. No single foot soldier or archer could stand up to any one knight. The Sabatons were the first parts of a knights suit of armor to be put on. Sabatons were armor for the feet and consisted of riveted iron plates on the boots. Greaves were Plate armor which protected the calf and ankles. Poleyns were Plate armor which protected the knee cap. Spurs - The Spurs were attached to the heel of the foot by straps and used to 'spur' the Knights horse on in battle. The Besagues which were small round 'shields' laced to the mail at the shoulder to defend the armpit. The Rerebrace for the defence of the upper arm. Hand Armor - The Knights gloves were called Gauntlets and had ringed metal plates over the fingers. The Chest Armor was referred to as the Breast Plate. The Back Armor protecting the back was called the Backplate. Faulds were rings of armour which were attached to the breast plate and protected the hips, abdomen and lower back. A Visor was a detachable piece of armor which protected the face and eyes. Head and Neck armor. In the 13th Century the helmet was called the Bascinet which had a skirt of mail called an aventail to protect the neck. A Dagger, called a roundel, and Sword were attached to the Knights belt. A shield was carried for defence and recognition purposes and displayed the Knights heraldic blazon. Spikes called Gadlings were attached to the knuckles of gauntlets.
Is Shield and armor the same?
No, medieval armour was designed to be worn like modern body armour. The weight of this armour was taken up by the shoulders and the waist, but in general armour did not impede movement (even in full plate armour a man can turn summersaults). A shield is a separate defensive protection, generally of wood reinforced with metal, which is carried on the left arm. It can also have a strap designed to pass over one shoulder. Medieval shields were initially round or kite-shaped, becoming smaller and more triangular as armour became more effective. By the late medieval period shields were often not carried at all, leaving both hands free. Shields were generally constructed of planks of wood butted together and were intended to stop arrows and crossbow bolts, which would penetrate most types of metal armour.
