I looked at the prices of armor in various periods and chose one I was more convinced of.
(Source: Cold Weapon Research Institute)
During Charlemagne's time at the end of the 8th century, there were no plate armor, chain mail, or zha armor.
Magic knight, thigh-length chain mail, large buckler (neck to thigh), neck protector, face helmet, spear and sword
In the 9th century, some people wore Eastern armor
.
Knights and Windforge information:
Helmet*6 (Solidas gold coins),
Armor*12,
Sheathed regular sword*7,
War horse*12
Hand and leg guards*6
Gun shield*2
A total of 45 gold coins, a complete set of knight equipment is equivalent to 225 grams of gold.
(At that time, two gold coins could buy an adult bull),
You can become a knight only if you have land. In the late Charlemagne period, you need at least 500 acres of land to get this (so the armor rate is very low)
.
Plate armor (14th century), the price is roughly estimated at $13,000-15,000 for wheat today.
In the 15th century, craftsmen's skills continued to improve, and a set of full-body armor could be completed in four days at the fastest.
By the 16th century, the price of the full-body armor of the British cavalry, calculated based on the purchasing power of the expenditure at that time, had reached 1-2% of the price during Charlemagne's time.

The author digresses, there is too little early data,
Often a single recorded source is used as an argument, and it is too difficult for non-local people to distinguish.
I recently used a translator to help me read some English discussion materials about the period from 850 to 900, about Alfred's reforms and changes in social systems.
Comparing what I saw on the encyclopedia raised many questions.
The information on Viking is fictitious;
Ah Fei’s information has been beautified.
Prices at that time were limited to records in a certain book over a period of time;
the development and dissemination of cultural institutions,
changes in the military system,
I had questions on every level.
I find that sometimes what I look up carefully is wrong.
.
One day I discovered why the physical map in my hand was different from the online APP map and game map.
His demarcation of the same period was actually different.
Sometimes game maps are more accurate,
They want to make money, and they are not careless in searching for information. They also record many unofficial histories.
The names of the characters are added so that I can find keywords and get more information.
And if the map I quoted is different, it will be inconsistent with the real historical data.
For example, the land boundaries of Ireland are not very accurate.
But the information I checked about the boundary line of the Dublin dynasty is different, and the map on the APP is also different.
Where there is confusion, I can only simplify and complete it myself.
.
There is also the issue of cavalry. When I was about to light up the British cavalry,
I once thought about why the Liao Kingdom was so brave. Western Liao was so invincible in fighting Central Asia.
But they can't defeat Jin's cavalry.
Jin’s cavalry was so brave, why couldn’t they defeat the Mongols?
Mongolia is so brave. Have they ever lost to their cavalry? How did they lose?
I searched and searched, and when I went to Europe, I saw some war history.
Every time you see two cavalry fighting and one side wins, you will wonder why you won.
Terrain?
Logistics?
Morale?
There is a mole
Horse breed?
alien
The history of cavalry, horse breeding, and a huge amount of astronomical information,
Just the division of functions between heavy cavalry, light cavalry and armored cavalry.
Everyone has different opinions,
Anyway, I think everyone’s reasons are great.
.
This also affects my judgment,
Although this book created the Hospital Riders Group,
But, what is the actual reasonable number of people this team should control?
As the territory improves, his growth rate is
His wartime functions, general functions, guarding the area, daily training,
Which roads in the north and south of England are suitable for him to adopt different tactical applications?
When facing people of fishing and hunting, what choices should I make in terms of equipment?
Breeding of British horses, where to feed and how to train them
How much does a cavalry cost?
And if I quote the information on "The Knight and the Wind Furnace" and compare it with other information, there may be a price gap.
I will actually go ahead and slightly adjust these data.
If you find that there are some differences between the text and the text (which does not affect the viewing of the plot), it means that a little bit of numerical change has been adjusted.
This kind of material needs to be published individually because it exceeds 500 words. I always publish it as a chapter review. There is no charge. Even if you turn on automatic subscription, it is free.
