What kind of armor and equipment did a knight use?
"Among the earliest metallic armor to be worn by medieval knights was chainmail armor, consisting of tens of thousands of interlocking rings woven painstakingly by hand to form a shirt, coif, or leggings. Because of the mild steel produced in medieval times each ring had to be riveted to keep all the rings from spreading and opening under the weight of the piece. Underneath the metal armor the knight would wear a padded garment known variously as an "aketon," or "gambeson." To this defensive equipment he added a shield, usually made of leather-covered wood, and a helmet. As the medieval arms race progressed and new, more powerful weapons were developed (such as the longbow and crossbow), chainmail became ineffective on its own." "Late in the Middle Ages plate armor began to appear (ca. late 13th/early 14th century), first as reinforcements to vital areas such as the chest and shoulders, and finally as a complete suit (ca. early 15th century). The medieval "knight in shining armor" that most people think of is the fully plate-armored knight. Chainmail armor was now relegated to protecting smaller vital areas that could not be covered with plate armor, such as the groin and under the arms. The shield became smaller, or disappeared altogether as it became unnecessary and redundant."
Shoes worn by queens in the middle ages?
Clothing would vary depending on social class and on which part of ht emedieval era (fashions changed somewhat over the centuries). In 'Life in a Medieval Village' Frances and Joseph Gies write: 'Over the period of the high Middle Ages, styles of clothing of nobles and townspeople changed from long, loose garments for both men and women to short, tight, full-skirted jackets and close-fitting hosse for men and trailing gowns with voluuminous sleeves, elabroate headdresses, and pointed shoes for women. Peasant dress, howver, progressed little. For the men, it consisted of a short tunic, belted at the waist, and either short stockings that ended just below the knee or long hose fastened at the waist to a cloth belt. A hood or cloth cap, thick gloves or mittens, and leather shoes with heavy wooden soless completed the costume. The tunic of a poor peasant man might be trimmed with fur, like squirrel. ' Popular colours included blue, red, and green, produced by vegetable dyes In 'Life in a Medieval City' discussing the 13th century, Frances and Joseph Giess write: 'A burgher and his wife wear linen and wool in bright reds, greens, blues and yellows, trimmed and lined with fur. Though the garments are similiar, differentation is taking place. A century ago both sexes wre long, loose-fitting tunics and robes that were almost identical. Now men's clothes are shorer and tighter than women's, and a man wears an invention of the Middle Ages that has already become a byword for masculinity, trousers, in the form of hose, a tight-fitting combination of breeches and stockings. Over them he wears a long-sleeved tunic, whch may be lined with fur, then a sleeeveless belted surcoat of fine wool, sometimes with a hood. For outdoors, he wears a mantle fasstened at the shouolder with a clasp or cahin; although bottons are sometimes used for decoration, the buttonhole has not been invented (it will be by the end of the century). His clothes have no pockets, and he must carry money and other belongings in a pouch or purse slung from his belt, or in his sleeves. On his feet are boots with high tops of soft leather.' In 'Pleasuress and Pastimes in Medieval England' Compton Reeves writes: ' 'In the first quarter of the fourteenth century,utility seems to have been the major determining factor in clothing, with distinctions being primarily in the quality of fabric. A noble gentleman wore velvet and fur, and his gowns tended to be voluminous. In the fourteenth century robess of voluminous character were gradually abandoned by most men, but were preserved in the distinguished dress of lawyers, academics, or the forma attire of the king. Men often wore a coif, aclose-fitting bonnet tied under the chin, which covered the hair (which often reached the shoulders) and ears, and over this ahat was worn. The hood worn by men underwent many changes in style in the later Middle Ages. it began *** a simple cowl with a point at the back, pulled out over the head with sufficient cloth toform a gorget to protect the neck and shoulders. Then the point of the hood was elongated with a pipe of material called a liripipe, that sometimes was an appendage of considerable length. In some styles, the liripipe was wound round the head and the gorget perched atop the head like a cockscomb. All sorts of creative draping evolved from the simple cowl in the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In the second quarter of the fourteenth century the clothing of stylish men and womenassumed a more figure-fitting cut and shape than had been the rule earlier. The clinging lines were often managed by lacing the garments down the back from neck to waist. The tight-fitting tunic, or cote-hardie, was worn by both sexes of the upper classes. The cote-hardie buttoned down the front and might reach mid-way down the thigh, perhaps further, and under it men would wear a gipon or doublet, which also fitted closely, and beneath that an undergarment. A man's shoes had pointed toes of ever increasing length, and the shoes were either buttone dup the front or buckled over the instep.'
