You mess with the knight, you get the sword!

          Knights always carried weapons with them wherever they went. Just in case someone was to attack or disrespect them. Typical weapons included swords, shields, lances, battle axes, maces, and spears. Many knights carried all of these when going into battle! All of these weapons are extremely heavy and difficult to fight with! Knights had to bread especially strong horses just to be able to carry the knight! I feel sorry for the horse that had to carry all of that!
A knight’s most essential weapon was his sword. The very best swords were usually made in Spain. Many knights had names for their swords. Talk about being attached! An example of this is the famous King Arthur’s supposed “magic” sword which he called Excalibur. Sounds weird right? But strangely it was very common for a knight to name his weapons. Well, I wish them luck with their insanity! J

  1. I didn't even know what the name(or that it had a name) of King Arthur was Excalibur. I also didnt know that swords were made in Spain. I never even thought of where they were made.
