History of the Silver Knight of Augsburg 1560: When knighthood was in flower, it became common practice to challenge any other knight to a fight, for very little, or no reason at all. To protect themselves from unnecessary bloodshed, the armor as we recognize it today was developed. The armor suit worn by the Silver Knight of Augsburg is considered a composite armor that's created from more than one version of the suits from that time period. The weight of the suits varied widely depending on the accessories used and the height and weight of the wearer. Generally, 70 to 90 pounds was the range. This type of suit was used primarily in the tilt, also known as the joust.
