At the beginning of the Middle Ages a knight was originally a person of noble birth who was trained in a range of weapons, horsemanship and chivalry. A Knights Armor in the Middle Ages was extremely expensive to produce. It had to be tailor-made to fit the Knight exactly or the Knight ran the risk of an ill-fitting suit of armor hampering him in battle. In the early Middle Ages a horse played an extremely important part in the life of a knight. A knight would own several horses which were built for different duties. The Courser was the most sought after and expensive warhorse, but the more common warhorses were the Destriers. The wealthy noblemen who became mounted knights were worth the equivalent of ten foot soldiers. This changed with the emergence of feudalism. A successful soldier could become wealthy and knighthood conferred regardless of his background.

∙ 13y agoThere were knights in the Roman Republic, and there are still knights today.
As mounted cavalry, knights were pretty much obsolete by the end of the Middle Ages. They could be destroyed by archers who had long bows, and they could be destroyed by muskets, which required less training. So, as effective fighters on the field, we could pick a date of about 1400 to 1500 for when they became ineffective.
