Knights

= ​ 1. Questions (I wonder...?) = How much weight did Knights have to carry around

What sort of weapons did they use

How did people become a knight

= = =2. Inferences (I think that...because....) = I think that knight had to carry around over twice thier body weight in armor to protect them in a way.

I think they used the longbows,swords,daggers,crossbows, sheilds,horses,sharp sticks,catipults,trevushaes and lots more.

You could have been a som of a noble and a young man could also become a knight for valor in combat after a battle or sometimes before a battle to help him gain courage.

** 4. Summary ** Knights where names for rich noblemen/ wariors. Becomeing a knight was hard work at around the age of seven your parents would send you to live with a powerful lord. You had to do what ever he said like cook and clean for him. After that at age 13 you would be an apprentice to a knight you would learn how to use a sword and sheild and lance. If you were good enough around the age of 18-21 you would become a knight! At that age you have alot of responsibilities like serve your lord and go fight wars. Knights would have lots of armour to protect them selves form arrows and swords. The most common weapon they used was the sword in battles. That is what i think about knights.
