knight Knights were like the modern tank, as well as like the modern special forces. They were heavily armored and very skilled. They also believed in the rules of chivalry.
Two handed sword Has a longer handle for the effect of more power and force. This sword can also be used as somewhat of a bashing weapon due to it’s large and heavy set build.
Dagger These were the secondary weapons in the 11th century. They were also part of the knights weapon set. It was a double sided sharp blade that was fashioned to be like a miniature sword.
War Machines Catapults would launch rocks, dead animals, and flaming balls at, and over the enemies walls As early as 885 AD. The trebuchet is a later model than the catapult.

Quote/Credits • Carl: I’m not going to jump off a cliff just cause you say so. • Halt: Oh I would never ask for someone to do that. Your going to jump off the cliff because if you don’t I will shoot you with an arrow. So what I suggest is that you jump an might live rather than get shot in the back and then fall off the cliff anyways. But you decide. • http://library.thinkquest.org/10949/fief/medknight.html • http://www.google.com/search?q=knights&hl=en&safe=active&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=voyzUJfvCYOmqgHVyYHADw&ved=0CAQQ_AUoAA&biw=1280&bih=797 • http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=797&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=long+bows&oq=long+bows&gs_l=img.3...16541.18917.0.19042.9.6.0.0.0.0.219.406.0j1j1.2.0.cpsugrpq2..0.0...1.1.1amWQiqFewQ
