Many pieces of the armour have symbols of Templar Knights cross, Hospitalers cross and the Teutonic Knights cross on them. Knight armour is one of the most popluar types of armor used in movies, used in homes, and stage fighting and reenactment. Crusade Clothing Crusader clothing was is composed of tunics, surcoats, and capes. The Crusaders wore surcoats to insulate their body from the heavy armour, because the heat of the sun would heat the armour and literally burn them. The Crusader surcoats also circulated air in to the knights armour being open on the bottom, something like a ventilation system. Not in most history books, Crusader Knights had so much armour that it would take forever to take it off, the tunics being opened on the bottom provided a way for a knight to relieve himself. Most of our Crusader clothing also comes with symbols of the Templer Knight, Hospitalers, and Teutonic Knights. Crusade Helmets Crusader helms started out as a simple cylinder with a flate top called a Great helm or a pot helm. Later the helm developed into a curved shaped that was pointed on top called a sugarloaf helm. This newly design of the knights helm deflected the blow from sword attacks and lance or spear attacks. These types of Crusader helms had small slits for the eyes and mouth which provided poor ventilation and poor line of sight. Crusader helms were usually put on before battle because of the thick steel used making the helm heavy. Dark Knight Armoury carries all types of Crusader helms like the great helm, sugarloaf helm and the bascinet. Don't forget the Crusader helm is a very important piece and functional of a knights armour. Crusade Swords Finally we arrive to the most important piece of the Crusader Knights equipment. What good is a Knight without his or her sword? The Crusader Knight's sword was his prized procession and helped him defend his beliefs. The Knights sword was hand made by a master blacksmith from high grade steel. Dark Knight Armoury carries many fully functional and decorative Crusader swords. The functional Crusader swords are made of high carbon steel and will hold up in re-enactments of the Crusades. The decorative swords are handmade and are of high quality workmanship that would be great in any castle or medieval home. Crusade Shields A Crusader Knights companion is the shield. The Crusader shield is the first line of defense that will stop most sword attacks from the enemy. The last line of defense is the Knights helmet and armour. The shields of the Crusades usually had the symbols and intricate designs of the group of Knights. The Templar Knights, Hospitalers, and Teutonic Knights all had some form of the cross. The cross is one of the most ancient symbols used in many religions; most notably during the Crusade was Christianity. Dark Knight Armoury brings you fully functional Crusader shields as well as SCA battle ready Knight Shields. Most of our shields can be used in sword fighting or re-enactments. Crusade Daggers A Crusader dagger or Templars dagger was typically a double edged blade that was used for stabbing or thrusting during battle. A Crusader Knight's last line of defense from an attacker was his dagger. The crusader dagger helped to defend its owner in close quarter attacks or if the Knight lost his sword. The tang of the dagger extends into the handle along the center line of the blade. Other used of the Crusader dagger were for cutting, craving, and used when eating. Most Crusader daggers are highly detailed displaying the symbols of their organization and decorated with jewels.
