We have this image of knights as romantic warriors who duel each other for the hand of a noble lady, or someone who writes poems and recites them to a damsel they want to court. But medieval knights weren't like that in reality.
They were elite soldiers who trained their bodies beyond their physical limits in order to prepare for war, and defend their lords and realms.
It was a herculean task to try and kill a knight, so much so, that there are actually only two ways to kill a medieval knight, and history enthusiast Luke Reitzer shares with us what those two ways are.
Not only that, but he also shares several other fun facts about knights, like the fact that they actually try not to kill each other in duels, and the reasons why these knights were highly effective warriors of their day.
