Shields in the Middle Ages




DID YOU KNOW THAT KNIGHTS STARTED TO USE SHIELDS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES?



Shields normally have a coat of arms that are pictures or symbols that represent an animal, a castle… Shields were very useful for battles because like that they could easily identify who was a friend and who was an enemy. Shields soon became popular and quickly every noble had one for their family. All the knights painted their shields with the colours of their lord or king .Nowadays lots of families have a coat of arms.
