Swords
In the Medieval Times of England, most knights carried around more than one sword at any given time. The most common kind of sword that was used was a long sword. Children often played with wooden swords as they admired the knights of the time.
Bludgeons
Knights also used bludgeons. A common example of a bludgeon would be the ball and chain pictured to the left. These consisted of a heavy metal ball, sometimes spiked, attached to a wooden rod by a chain. They could be used to wrap around a shield and yank it away, to knock a rider off of his horse, or simply to crush the armor of a Knight.
Long Bows
The long bow greatly enhanced war for the English Knights. It could be fired rapidly, was more powerful, and had more accuracy than other weapons of the time. It is thought that a long bow could have been up to six feet in length.
Spears and Lances
Knights had access to spears and lances as well. Spears and lances offered the advantage of distance. Because of the long wooden pole, Knights could attack from farther away then they could with a sword or bludgeon. Most often, the Knights leading the charge would carry these with them.
Catapults
Catapults were effective in knocking down buildings and castle walls. They could also be used to kill opposing Knights. A catapult would normally throw rocks, fireballs, or lumber. Sometimes they might even shoot dead bodies infected with various fatal diseases.
