Description: The knight in shining armor conjures hundreds of images and captures the imagination. While the Middle Ages lasted roughly one thousand years (500-1500 CE), the steel plate armor associated with the knight was only in use from 1350 CE onwards. What were its strengths? What were its weaknesses? Learn about the arms and armor used by knights and soldiers of the past in this interactive program. (Program subject to change)
