| dc.description |
Up to approximately the 15th century the arms and the armament of a Polish knight were very similar in style to those used in the west: heavy Armour, heavy sword, and heavy horse. However, in the face of the continuous attacks by Tartars, and later on Turks, on Polish territories, the enemy consisting of very light cavalry, on small but very quick and manageable horses, the heavy knights were of little use. Long before the 15th century the armament and the tactics had to be slowly modified and adapted to the enemy's armament and stratagems.<br><br>Hasta antes del siglo XV, las armas y armamento de los caballeros polacos eran muy similares en estilo a los utilizados en Occidente: una pesada armadura, una pesada espada, un pesado caballo. Sin embargo, frente a los contínuos ataques al territorio polaco, primero de los tártaros y posteriormente de los turcos, utilizando una caballería muy ligera montando caballos de pequeño tamaño pero muy rápidos y manejables, los caballeros tan pesadamente armados eran de poca utilidad. Tácticas y armamento hubieron de adaptarse a las del enemigo. [traducido por la redacción] |
