What weapons did a knight use?


A knight use a lot of weapons and all of them were very different. And their armor depended on when he lived, and the type of fighting he did, and how wealthy he was( that would stink if you were a poor knight and didn't have good weapons). During hand-to-hand combat they used swords, axes, clubs, and spears. That would be be fun:).Crossbows, bows, and javelins were used as projectiles through the air. Well, that is until guns were invented.

Catapults and armies broke into castles and towns to take them over. All of the knights carried swords and were very skilled with them. Many of the knights carried daggers which are smaller versions of swords and they used them if their sword was lost or broken they also used them for another stabbing weapon. the cheapest weapon was the club and they used it to batter the enemies which would really hurt.
