The archetypal image of European Chivalry is the Charging Knight. But there are various types of knights. For you which one rings the strongest when you hear the word knight, or chivalry? a)12th Century Western Knights: The era of mail and shield
b)13th Century Western Knights: Mail and Surcout
c)14th Century Western Knights: Mail and Plate
d)15th Century Western Knights: Knights in White Armor
e)16th Century Western Knights: Surcoats and large plumes
f) Polish or Eastern Hussars: Wings!
g)12-14th century Russian noble cavalry
h) Other Eastern Knights: Crescent or Oval shields |

Good question Probably a) Mail and Shield followed by d) White Armour |

b) because it IS the age of chivalry (which is all but abandoned later) or d) because of pre-Raphalite inspiration (Leighton, Waterhouse)… |

E for sure, even if that's at a time when it was going out of style. |

A photo finish between a) and b). If I was forced to pick then it would be b).
Cheers and good gaming.

D for me, but really a mash-up of all of them, since my early love of knights and chivalry came from Hollywood. |

B. Full mail, surcoat, greathelm, & heater shield. |
