Knight Figure Pencil Topper

Product Description: This Knight Figure pencil topper is made from lead-free pewter and is a 3D model of a 1400-1500AD knight with a full-face armet helmet and wearing a suit made of highly decorative plate armour. His weapon is an Arming Sword. It is supplied on a 13cm black wooden pencil with the inscription "Defend the weak, be courteous to all women, be loyal to their king, and serve God at all times. The knights code of chivalry" printed on it in silver.

Information: In the Early Middle Ages, the armoured knight ruled the battlefield. They were typically mounted on horseback and trained in the use of weapons such as the sword, lance, and battle axe. By the 15th century a fully armed knight was virtually encased in armour. Due to the skill of the late medieval armourer, he was not as restricted as he might appear as the armour joints allowed for a large amount of movement.
