Most of peasants during Medieval times were farmers, but a few were blacksmiths, millers, and owners of taverns. Peasants were important because they were the backbone of medieval society. Peasants worked the land leased to them by wealthy landowners of the nobility. They produced all the food in their society and paid most of the taxes. Today, Dark Knight Armoury brings medieval clothing and armour peasant wore during that time.

Peasant Armour | Peasant back during Medieval times did not wear much armour. Peasant armour was highly unlikely, because peasant did not have much money to spend because of the high taxes they had to pay to the nobility. Most peasants used leather for armour, that were hides from farm animals such as cows or animal hides from the wilderness such as bison and deer. Animal hides were skinned and dried out by the sun and then formed into armour protection such as breastplates, arm bracers and wrist bracers. Dark Knight Armoury is your leader in the Medieval industry in high quality peasant leather armour. |
