Question

European knights wore heavy armor and chainmail in battle. Often, their horses were also protected with armor. Do you think this approach to battle proved to be an advantage or a disadvantage in the crusaders’ travel to Jerusalem?

Answer 1

In my opinion it was a disadvantage for the traveling part but for the actual fighting it could be both an advantage and a disadvantage

Answer 2

Considering the heavy armor and chainmail worn by the Knights during the crusaders' travel to Jerusalem, this is a disadvantage to them.

• The reason is that the legions of Crusaders left Paris to Jerusalem which is more than 2,000 miles of land journey.

• This journey took them between 12 to 15 miles per day which is more than half a year of journey on land wearing heavy armor and chainmail.

• Also, they passed through some rough terrains and sunny weather which is not favorable for such costume or dressing materials on a long journey.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that this approach to a battle is a disadvantage in the crusaders’ travel to Jerusalem, as it would weigh them over a long period.
