Welcome to the image collection dedicated to medieval knights — representatives of a special military and social class in Europe during the Middle Ages. If you are interested in photographs and illustrations of knights in full armor, with weapons and symbols of their era, this selection is made especially for you.

A medieval knight is an armed mounted warrior, usually belonging to the nobility. In these materials, you will find images of knights in various protective gear: from chainmail and plate armor to helmets with visors and shields bearing coats of arms. Knights are often depicted with swords, lances, halberds, as well as other weapons used in battles and tournaments.

The typical context in which knights appear includes feudal castles, battlefields, and tournaments — arenas for testing combat skills and honor. Scenes of their daily life are also presented — training, oath-taking, participation in crusades, and managing their estates. The settings include fortified strongholds, knightly castles, as well as rural areas with roads and fields.

The images may also portray social aspects: knightly orders, knighthood ceremonies, the presence of banners and coats of arms symbolizing affiliation to a certain family or lord. Scenes of grooming and servicing horses — knights’ most important companions — are frequently shown, along with demonstrations of elements of horse tack and equipment.

Depending on the season, knights may be depicted engaged in combat against backgrounds of green meadows and forests, on winter fields with snowy landscapes, in autumn castle courtyards, or at summer festivals and celebrations. This offers a broad representation of the conditions of their service and life throughout the year.

This collection offers a comprehensive view of medieval knights — their gear, weapons, habitats and activities, as well as their role in the historical context of medieval society. Here you will find materials suitable for educational, research, or creative projects related to European medieval history and culture.
