Historical Anecdotes

Knights' Armor

Let's demystify the image of knightly armor. Far from being excessively heavy, they weighed on average 25 kg, well distributed across the body, offering astonishing mobility. Jousting armor, more imposing, sometimes weighed between 50 kg and 80 kg, specially designed to resist the impact of the spear.

Horses in the Middle Ages

Medieval horses were diversified depending on their use. From the powerful steed to the fast steed, each horse had a specific role. Tournaments, beginning in the 11th century, combined horses, armor and weapons of war in a form of competition and combat training. Jousting horses were bred specifically for this exercise, measuring between 1.50 m and 1.60 m, and weighing around 500 kg, guaranteeing perfect agility.
