what would a typical knight in the medieval ages have as equipment (battle gear)? (ranging from 1350-1450 A.D)

Answer 1

~You fail to specify the region in which you are interested, and the regional differences are significant. I will assume you weren't aware of that (since you are too lazy to do your own research, I think that is a safe assumption, yes?) and I will describe the armor and armament of Tyrolean Lombard Knights of the Green Meade.

Helmet: cisternal gothic spirogyra. The visor was fixed and opaque. Flanging was optional, usually depending on the marital status of the knight.

Codpiece of leather chiffon with cuntinal backing

Breastplate and abdominal of Precambrian lucite

Thigh plates hinged to allow rotation of the femur

Patellar and scapula guards of steel or bronze and rigid to keep the bones immobile and fixed during hand to hand combat on foot.

Gauntlets of velvet lined nacre (the velvet to protect the knights hands, the nacre to catch the sunlight and blind the opponent in a close quarters encounter.

The Tyrolean Lombards did not wear pointed shoes as they were partial to accouchement stirrups, which were wide enough to allow entry of a square-toed boot.

In lieu of aketon or gambeson these knights where partial to camoisole or brocaded silk, not only for the tactile function, but to make them instantly recognizable to knights of like disposition. (It was a means of communication amongst these knights while allowing them to remain cloistered.)

Leggings and boots (clogs) were usually of heavily tanned Georgian-Hamiltonian hides and were more for appearance than for any utilitarian purpose, but then again, they were chivalrous and did not fight with legs and feet.

The back plating was of ichthyological lamina, usually imported from the Himalayan trade routes via India.

Thorax and cervical armor was of cedar or oak, with a bronze veneer and very light and flexible to allow rapid movement in event of a blow to that area.

Weaponry varied some, but the Tyrolean-Lombards were partial to the Iron Maiden, thrusting broadswords (although the preferred thrusting weapon was the Richard's lancette) and the more culinary of them always carried mace. Many preferred draggers for close quarters confrontation.

The preferred steed of these knights was the Kutan Onager, which was adorned with the traditional heraldic gear.

The prowess of these knights lead to their being called the "Quintain" by most other knights in the European theater during their period of preeminence

Answer 2

The early part of the range you gave would be considered the "transitional" period for armor. That is a transition between wearing just mail and wearing full plate. He would have a houndskull bascinet (helmet), a mail hauberk and underneath that a padded coat to help cushion the blows and make the wear a little more comfortable, shoulder armor called spaulders, full arm armor that covers from the biceps to the wrist, hourglass gauntlets, a breastplate, full leg armor with shin armor called greaves, foot armor called sabatons.
By this time shields weren't really used as much because the armor he wore was suitable protection so he would probably have a 2 handed sword that had a tapering point to be able to thrust into the vulnerable spots in armor that werent well protected by plate (like the neck or armpits).

Oscar Himpflewitz- what are you talking about "they were chivalrous and did not fight with legs and feet." That is totally false. No truth to that whatsoever! They certainly encorporated kicks as well as grappling with arm locks and dislocations. There was no chivalry in fighting when it comes down to your life.

Answer 3

Most likely a sword, spear, jousting stick (altho they are very dangerous and hard to use), and mace. U can look up on google images by typing in medieval weapons. Also, if u want to know more about these weapons and how they're used, u can read books by Tamora Pierce. (Fantasy and Fiction, I know, but the weapons she describes are real and were used)

Answer 4

chain mail or in general armor sword and shield some had lances or spears leggings (another name for armor) usually thier breast plate had the symbold or family crest on it

Head - helmet
body - breast plate
arms - glove (usually chain)
legs - leggings
feet - cleaves i think is what they were called
