The Middle Ages (132) : Knight

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

***

This knight, dressed in an iron armour, was ready for a fight after getting instructions from the King.

For the elite knights of the King, a full-body plate armour was custom-made for each individual
and weighed about 27 kg !

Photographed at medieval festival of castle ‘Opheylissem’ (Hélécine, Belgium)

For now, this is the last picture of this series. Thanks for all comments.
I had great fun making these shots and maybe next year there will be a sequel.
And now, back to nature…..

    A wonderful view of this knight. The armor looks a little dented in places.

    Eine sehr ansehnliche Rüstung hat er, der edle Ritter!!! Es ist erstaunlich, dass sie trotz des Gewichts derselben sich oft harte Kämpfe lieferten... Super ist Deine Aufnahme.... LG! a.

    Superb exposure of this 'tin man' in his armor
    The detals in that shining armour are excelent.
