his knights of the Round Table. But these warriors weren't just
heroes from fables and legend. They were real men who strapped
themselves into heavy armour and bravely charged into battle.

readers what life was like as an elite armoured warrior in Medieval

In the wild, animals use teeth, claws and other natural weapons to
attack their prey. On the battlefield, soldiers need weapons to
fight the enemy. The Armed Forces have often looked to nature for
inspiration to develop effective weapons and combat tactics. From
the first feathered arrows to tomorrow's high-tech weaponry, take a
look at how military technology often imitates the natural weapons
of animals to help soldiers succeed in combat.
