Knight armor, also known as plate armor, was a type of protective clothing worn by knights during the Middle Ages. It was designed to shield the wearer from weapons and projectiles in battle. Made from metal plates, the armor covered the body while allowing for some mobility. Different styles evolved over time, with features like helmets, gauntlets, and breastplates. The construction of knight armor involved skilled craftsmanship, often incorporating intricate designs and engravings. Chainmail was commonly used underneath for added protection and flexibility. Knights would wear this armor during tournaments and in combat, symbolizing their status and readiness for battle.
