The Middle Ages (132) : Knight
This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.
***
This knight, dressed in an iron armour, was ready for a fight after getting instructions from the King.
For the elite knights of the King, a full-body plate armour was custom-made for each individual
and weighed about 27 kg !
Photographed at medieval festival of castle ‘Opheylissem’ (Hélécine, Belgium)

For now, this is the last picture of this series. Thanks for all comments.
I had great fun making these shots and maybe next year there will be a sequel.
And now, back to nature…..
