Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to knights — historical warriors who held an important place in medieval European society. If you are looking for high-quality photographs and illustrations of knights in full attire, armed and set against appropriate environments, you have found exactly what you need. Here you will find images reflecting diverse aspects of knightly life and culture.

Typical depictions of knights include members of the military class clad in heavy armor, ranging from chainmail to plate armor, armed with swords, spears, axes, and shields bearing coats of arms. Knights are often portrayed mounted on war or riding horses adorned with special harnesses that serve both as protection and as a symbol of status and affiliation to a certain order or fiefdom.

The settings in which knights are depicted vary from open battlefields and tournaments to castle courtyards and medieval towns. In such scenes, you may see castles, fortified walls, defensive structures, as well as elements of knightly games, including polo, jousting tournaments, and displays of knightly skills. Flags, coats of arms, and emblems indicating the knight’s belonging to a particular family or military order are often visible nearby.

The changes in time of day and weather conditions in the images of knights demonstrate their presence in various situations: from solemn ceremonies and oaths to harsh combat in bad weather or twilight. You can also find scenes of the everyday life of knights — weapon training, contracts with vassals, and participation in religious rituals reflecting their social and spiritual roles.

The collection features a variety of types of knights — from famous European paladins and crusaders to lesser-known members of military orders and regional knightly groups. All this provides a deep insight into who knights were and the role they played in shaping medieval culture and history.
