knight

A member of the warrior class during the Middle Ages in Europe commonly associated with chivalry and combat. Bred for their skills in horsemanship, swordsmanship and (in a fantasy millieu) magic. However, Danbooru is gracefully unprejudiced. Use this tag when you see a combination of at least three of the following:

• Swords or lances
• Shields
• Armor, especially full plate armor
• Horses or similar mounts, possibly clad in barding

If the character belongs to a Knight class from a game, then use this tag at your own discretion. If the character fits all of the above standards but is wearing clearly Japanese armor and carrying a katana rather than a European-style sword, use Samurai instead.
