[we-are-knight]

Parzival is a high medieval story, featuring king Arthur and the holy grail. It was written in Germany close to the year 1200. At that time knights were fighting in mail armour which they refer to as harness in the epos - not hauberk. Here is what was found:

1. Knights have rust and dust on them after wearing mail armor. It also stains their undergarments.

2. Knights always have assistance for putting on armour. Yet when abandoned and all alone Parzival is able to put on his harness by him self.

3. The harness has laces and they get frequently checked for wear and tear.

4. The harness has a mail hood that can be opened without taking the armour off.

5. People appreciate shiny mail armour.

And the following is the passage in which the protagonist sees mail armour for the first time. He is a little boy and in his nativity he sees some knights and thinks they are gods:

(English adaptation)

Loud they laughed as the boy spake further, 'Good knight, what may these be?

These rings that so close around thee, above and below I see.'

Then he handled, with curious finger, the armour the knight did bear,

His coat of mail close-linkèd as behovèd a knight to wear;

And he spake as he looked on the harness, 'My mother's maidens string

On their chains, and around their fingers, full many a shining ring,

But they cling not so close to each other as these rings that here I see,

I cannot force them asunder, what good are they then to thee?'

(original:)

aber sprach der knappe sân,

dâ von ein lachen wart getân.

«ay ritter guot, waz mahtu sîn?

du hâst sus manec vingerlîn

an dînen lîp gebunden,

dort oben unt hie unden.»

aldâ begreif des knappen hant

swaz er îsers ame fürsten vant:

dez harnasch begunder schouwen.

«mîner muoter juncfrouwen

ir vingerlîn an snüeren tragnt,

diu niht sus an einander ragnt.»

der knappe sprach durch sînen muot

zem fürsten «war zuo ist diz guot,

daz dich sô wol kan schicken?

ine mages niht ab gezwicken.»

Something that I read has been haunting me for a while. It pointed out that swords are effectively useless against an opponent with heavy armour and/or chainmaille, if you want to kill a knight you need something like a spiked hammer or a mace.

And that makes knights who primarily wields swords, peasant killers.

And now when I come across “brave” knights in movies or fiction brandishing swords, that is all I can think off.

It is kind of weird how heavy weapons have the reputation of being brutish and unsophisticated. When it’s actually the other way around.

Rolling up to the knight's guild in a chainmail brayette and low-cut mail chausses watching my fellow knights visibly fluster under their helmets as their gaze follows up to my maille voider scandalously worn without a breastplate

It’s time for Knight Posting

When mages keep creating homuncului out of dead knights, they’re eventually gonna become their own whole species, & someone’s gotta take care of ‘em. That’s where the Knightrearers come in!
