Finally, A Site That Doesn’t Sell Weapons
Some of the most popular weapons from the medieval
period were bow and arrows, axes, maces, swords/daggers, and lances. Medieval
weaponry is very spectacular. The weapons from the Dark Ages are very creative.
A good site to check it out is http://swords-n-armor.homepage.com/
beacause it has good examples.They were used in combat and some were used
for farming. Some of the ideas came from farming tools. Swords and daggers
had the most decorative design. Some of the weapons are a cross bow and
arrow, a lance, a long bow and arrow, a clubbing mace, a dagger, a battle
ax, a sword, a scabbard, a halberd, a bludgeon, a war hammer or hawk’s
beak, cannons, and a mace. For more info. go to http://www.knights.org/indiana/weapons.html
. It gives you battle tips and the weapons definition. Knights used horses
a lot and when they're on their horses the weapon they usaully used was
lances and for battle on foot, knights usually had swords. Medieval weapons
were very important to the people who used them.
QUESTIONS!!!!!
1. What do you notice about the designs of the swords
handles? How are they similar or different?
2. How many tools are used today that were used in the Dark Ages?
3. How do you think farming tools were used in battle? Why? What types?
