What mineral can be cut with a knife?
Several minerals are rated on the Mohs scale of hardness above glass. You can see from the scale, below, that window plate glass is rated at 5.5 on the 10-point scale. Commonly, industrial diamonds attached to a tool are used to score class where a cut is desired, then the worker taps the glass with a rubber mallet and the glass separates along the score.
When were house windows first use?
Windows in houses and other buildings have been used ever since ancient times, in the Babylonian, Assyrian and Pharonic Egyptian Empires, although in those days they were simply open gaps that were covered with either fabric curtains or shutters at night. Even the Romans, who used glassware a lot in tableware, never used glass in their windows as they had not mastered the technique of rolling it to make window panes. The Bronze and Iron Age tribes of Europe did not have windows in their residential huts at all, though they did have small openings in their 'moot halls' to allow light in. Glass first began to be used in windows in late Anglo-Saxon times, mostly in churches, but these could only be constructed using small pieces of glass held together in a framework of lead. This is why stained-glass windows in Mediaeval cathedrals and churches are made up of small pieces with leaden supports in between. During this era, glass in windows was reserved for ecclesiastical use in monasteries, abbeys and churches- even the wealthy upper classes living in castles or fortified manors had open windows that were sealed with wooden shutters at night. The technique of making plate-glass windows by rolling molten glass into flat pieces was not developed until the latter years of King Henry VIII's reign (i.e. 1540's), but it was only the nobility and extremely wealthy who could afford to have these installed- many continued to use the old-style lattice windows, and plate-glass continued to be unusual up until the end of the 17th Century. It was only from around the time of the architect Sir Christopher Wren that plate glass came into widespread use.

Is it possible to smash through a glass window while riding on horseback?
Yes. Glass shatters easily and horses are quite heavy, so if you ride a horse towards a plate glass window, if you continue forwards and hit the window, the sheer weight and momentum of the horse will easily break the glass and you will smash through it. However, some types of glass are comparatively strong. Laminated glass, which is two layers of glass with plastic film in between, is much stronger than usual, so attempting to ride a horse through it might only crack it, and it would be quite a collision. Plate glass is the most common and the weakest. It will smash easily even if you are riding your horse slowly. It breaks into pieces easily and makes a loud glassy smashing sound. Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is also another common type. It is slightly stronger than plate glass, but still shatters easily. Just ride into the tempered glass window and it will shatter into many small pieces. It is not as exciting as smashing through plate glass, and it makes a more dull crashing sound but it shatters nicely too. If you wanted a recommendation as to what type of glass is best if you want to break through it while riding a horse, I would personally recommend plate glass. It is the easiest to smash through, so even an inexperienced horse rider travelling slowly can shatter it, but when it breaks it shatters the best and makes the best smashing sound.
