Knight in armour Some of the exhibits in the centre you could try to lift the double handed swords. A couple of swings and you would be tired. The same with the mace and the ball and chain how they managed to use them in heavy armour. If you missed the weight
of the weapon would pull you over
Knight on a Horse The Battlefield at Azincourt The picture above show the battlefield. The battle of Azincourt was on the 25th, October 1415. Between a small English army mainly bowmen, and a large French army of heavy armoured knights. The battlefield slopes down and narrows, it had rained for several days before. The English army set up at the bottom of the slope and both sides. The French had forgotten how effective the longbow was at an earlier battle of Crecy in 1346. The French charged down the slippery hill and were hit by a stream of arrows. That brought the first row down and the rest ran into them they could not stop on the muddy slope. A lot were crushed by there own men crashing on top of them. |
