Knights in Medieval Europe – Men in Iron | History Documentary



This elegant and exciting 3-part series evokes the time of the knights in a unique and intimate rollercoaster ride of individual lives set in the wider context of medieval Europe. Knights were celebrities, risk-takers, and showmen. Yet, theirs was not just a man’s world: female knights were not unheard of, including Joan of Arc and the almost forgotten ladies of the Ordre de la Hache of Spain.

  1. Very informative. I have just checked the derivation of the word 'knight' in the Oxford Concise Dictionary. From the Old English 'cniht' – youth, and the Old High German 'kneht'.
    I do not know when English dropped the 'kn ' sound.

  2. In the fight between armor and cutting or piercing instruments, victory always goes to those who manufacture war equipment without taking risks in battle. Modern armaments manufacturers are in a business that has been profitable and secure since the Middle Ages.

  3. Great documentary cant wait for the other two parts.

    Please make a documentary about if knight colored there helmets ect because alot of people think they did.. While it would cost alot to do to just paint a helmet by peasent soldiers even for lords. dye was not easy to come by and i dont believe they did it on a big scale for knights that go to battle maybe for tournaments. But love to see how and when they dyed helmets and armor and when what for.

  4. On réécrit l Histoire dans le réductionnismes anglo saxon ( qui n a pas connu le Moyen Age les anglais battus par les normands et Guillaume le Conquérant et les américains qui n existaient pas) C est d'ailleurs pour écrire ce Moyen Age que Tolkien a construit son oeuvre
