Which country had the knights that looked the coolest?
Landon Bell
Lucas Taylor
France maybe
Adrian Lopez

Unfortunately I don’t have any pics but the Knights of the Emirate of Granada were pretty kino in that they all used entirely European style armour with added Eastern/Muslim aesthetics
Samuel Nelson
Medieval Scandinavia
Luke Smith
post more examples?
Cameron Campbell
this is one from ±1600
Jeremiah James
Ok that was Birger Jarl's invasion of Finland. This is Swedes vs Danish army and German mercenaries
Blake Ward
German Landsknechte
Alexander Torres
huh... so you could say swedes are the "bulls" of the danes, finns, and germans...?
David Watson
have any pre-1500 examples? such as what type of surcoats/coats of arms medieval dutch knights wore?
Ethan Wood
Yes and Norwegians are also bulls
Lincoln King
wow that's pretty cool user :) those f*nns must be seething, haha. :)
Grayson Foster
No they are our brothers :)
Wyatt Cooper
Landsknechte were clearly the Chads of the 16th century
Josiah Watson
they look like a bunch of queers
Bentley Rivera
little brothers always get the short end, i guess. :)
thanks for elaborating on your country's history for me! very insightful.
Camden Anderson
that's a poor example, later knights looked like poofters.
Carson Flores
We haven't that much in our museums. Most of our stuff was taken to Spain and Vienna by the Habsburgs
Carson Evans
Winged Hussars obviously
Wyatt Gutierrez
hahahahaha
Adam Rivera
Nice picture. Who is leading the army on the left?
Connor Kelly

Owen Hughes
Not knights, mercenaries.
Jason Price
Grote Peer, frisian dudes with giant swords.
Logan Garcia

Sebastian Long
Connor Stewart
Honestly there were two types of knights that looked badass - the winged hussars and the teutonic knights. Other knights resembled more of modern soyboys see as an example
Lincoln Murphy
Brayden Ward

Jeremiah Nelson
Blake Russell

Adrian Thompson
Chase Brooks
Easton Turner

Camden Wood
NOOOOOO
Mason Turner
James Bell
He did, but the battle wasn't much more than a skirmish. A lot of his exploits have been exaggerated desu.
Isaiah Howard
*licks your butthole*
Christian Taylor
>Which country had the knights that looked the coolest?
USA
Landon Young
Christopher Rodriguez

Jaxson Bennett
Did that Däne recieve a magical Ring from his Jarl?
Nathan Young
make your own thread then nigger
Joshua Garcia
Voilà, end of the thread.
Jacob Smith
Didn't they look relatively similar across the west? At least in the middle ages, with different styles mainly coming up during early modernity when they were already losing their relevancy
Angel Gutierrez
The styles of armour etc. were similar, but different styles existed at the same time, mostly due to monetary restrictions (not everyone could afford the same amounts of armor). A full kit of Milanese plate was in a vastly different price range than some basic man-at-arms style armours.
Aiden Collins
God bless Birger Jarl for Stockholm
Michael Mitchell
Not if Eastern Europe is included
Camden Richardson
the guy on the top is making fun of me and I don't like it
Alexander Gomez
You're probably right that France had the best cavalry in Europe. Too bad they kept getting dabbed on by Spanish infantry.
Gavin Brooks
i think is not specific to a country(?) but I always liked this one
Isaiah Turner
>cliche minimal design helmets
Yeah I’m thinking fucking no.
Zachary Fisher
Everything ITT is lame as fuck. Get some taste.
Lucas Fisher
Grayson Hall
Is this the Albigensian Crusade?
Zachary Miller
That one is a-historical. They weren't wearing great helms while they had full plate
Benjamin Moore
Look at this suit of armour I saw in Belgium the other week, man looks like a frog
Logan Garcia
That would make for a really cool fantasy race.
Hunter Howard
Chad Russian vityaz dab on you virgin crusaders.

Tyler Ramirez

Nicholas Ramirez
Noah Williams
Those aren't knights, but there were actual knights in Croatia, Hungary, Poland and even Serbia, and they look the same as the rest of them, with the wealthiest ordering German and Italian armor.
Not every armored dude on a horse is a knight.
Gavin Lopez
KARA BOGA army of Hungary
Oliver Bennett
>Armor? What for? God protects me for I am a warrior of Rus
>Besides, you wouldn't want to be frostbitten by it when the temperature gets to -50
Isaac Wilson
>Ok that was Birger Jarl's invasion of Finland.
He invaded Tavastia with a support of Finnish chieftains.
