Medieval Shields – Defense on the Battlefield

Medieval shields were a vital part of a warrior’s defense, designed to block strikes and projectiles in combat. Made from wood, metal, and leather, these shields were used by knights and soldiers across Europe during the Middle Ages.

• Heater Shield: Smaller and lighter, favored in tournaments and jousting.
• Round Shield: Compact and versatile, widely used by infantry and foot soldiers.
• Pavise Shield: A large shield used to defend archers and crossbowmen during sieges.
